Overwatch 2 has recently enriched its universe with the release of “DokiWatch: The Heart of Hope,” a comic that delves into the backstories of the magical girl-inspired DokiWatch skins from Season 16. This charming addition to the game’s narrative, voiced by Juno’s voice actor Xanthe Huynh, not only provides an origin story for the Mythic Heart of Hope Juno but also hints at potential future skins for other characters.
Season 16 of Overwatch 2, titled Stadium, introduced a wealth of content, including the new Stadium game mode, the damage hero Freja, and a variety of skins. Among these, the DokiWatch skins have garnered significant attention, prompting Overwatch 2 to expand on their lore.
The comic “DokiWatch: The Heart of Hope” narrates Juno’s journey as she is discovered by Kiriko, Brigitte, Widowmaker, and Freja after facing Nocturna, the Hollow Heart version of D.Va. This tale of heroism sees the heroes uniting to unlock Juno’s powers and save the day, though Nocturna’s escape leaves room for future developments.
Notably, the comic subtly teases the potential inclusion of Lifeweaver and Mercy in the DokiWatch universe. While Lifeweaver’s appearance is brief, his distinctive features suggest a future DokiWatch skin. Similarly, Mercy’s mention in the comic, despite not having a DokiWatch skin, hints at possible future additions.
The DokiWatch narrative marks a significant step forward in Overwatch 2‘s storytelling. Unlike previous skin themes, DokiWatch has received a robust narrative exploration, suggesting a potential trend for future alternate universes within the game. Players can acquire the Mythic Heart of Hope Juno from the Mythic Shop, while DokiWatch skins for other characters are available in the Battle Pass and cash shop.
The Merciful Magitech Mythic Weapon Skin for Mercy is set to be added to the Mythic Shop during the mid-Season 16 update, expected in late May, further expanding the cosmetic options for players.
