Overview

  • Season 18 begins August 26 with new support hero Wuyang, more than 50 new hero perks, and a competitive rank reset.
  • Stadium Quick Play adds shorter matches, a faster item economy, cross-play, and a new Payload Race mode, with Winston, Brigitte, and Pharah at launch and Tracer slated mid-season.
  • The collaboration is confirmed in the season trailer and is expected to deliver cosmetic skins rather than playable Persona characters, with timing and pricing still unannounced.
  • Summer cosmetics headline the season with swimsuit skins split between the battle pass and shop, plus an Ultraviolet Sentinel Mythic skin for Sojourn and an Ultimate bundle featuring Poolside Wuyang.
  • The tie-in extends Blizzard’s recent run of licensed crossovers that have brought Street Fighter, Cowboy Bebop, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Avatar cosmetics to the game.
