This is yet unclear, and there have been no rumors or leaks regarding these. A battle pass like Activision’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone 2 would be a good addition to Overwatch. In those games, players are given the option to forge a path to their desired items.

A system that is similar to this would surely be a huge relief to the players of Overwatch. Especially for the ones who really want to get hold of any particular hero item. This sort of system will also assist players who main a certain hero.
