After several requests from fans, Blizzard finally brings back some special Overwatch skins that were only ever available for a limited time.

Overwatch features no shortage of special skins to collect, but some of the game's cosmetics are particularly rare. Fortunately, Blizzard has enabled some of the most popular Overwatch skins related to the Overwatch League, giving players a limited time to collect skins that they might have missed out on.

While some have been worried about the Overwatch League’s future if a delay for the sequel happens, it seems like Blizzard is doing its best to keep discussion around the competitive platform positive. As such, it has restored four specific skins that were limited time OWL exclusives. These skins are all tied to either MVP performers or are championship skins from past Seasons. For those interested, Brigitte, Doomfist, Zenyatta, and Winston are the characters that get some love, and each skin can be bought for 200 League Tokens.

Though there are plenty of neat Brigitte skin concepts, one of the best official looks for Reinhardt’s squire is the GOAT skin. A nod to the GOATs meta that dominated Overwatch a few years back, the skin sees the hero donning a luxurious white and blue outfit, with the armor looking futuristic and well-crafted. The upper part of the skin is really the star of the show, however. Alongside a tiara, Brigitte gets some horns on her head. She also has some short purple hair, a major difference from her long red locks. With no other Brigitte skin being similar to this one, it is a must for those who main the hero.

Thunder Doomfist is also set to return, with the villain looking incredible in the San Francisco Shock-inspired outfit. Designed to commemorate the team’s 2019 championship victory, the outfit turns Doomfist into a being made from rocks. Gold accents cover his outfit, while his gauntlet is clearly seen emitting some blue electricity. The Flying Ace skin is up next, and it sees Overwatch fans dressing Winston in an aviator outfit. Designed for the London Spitfire after their 2018 championship win, Winston looks great with a flight cap and goofy mustache.

The final skin included is for the hero Zenyatta, and it is actually an old MVP skin. Called Zen-Nakji, the skin essentially transforms the robotic monk into a whole new being. Alongside a pink octopus in the bot’s head, unique orbs can be seen as well as a special blue and red robe. The healer’s robotic body also boasts a light blue glow. While the skin was designed for the 2018 MVP Jjonak, any Zenyatta fan should be happy to add it to their collection.

While the Alien Zarya skin is unsurprisingly not part of this lineup, the four chosen outfits are still great to see again since many players had likely missed out on them. For those interested, watching Overwatch League matches or buying tokens soon will be a must, as the skins leave again on August 24.

Overwatch is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
