Excitement is building for the upcoming release of Season 10 of Overwatch 2, set for April 16th. A recent teaser trailer has given us a glimpse of what might be in store for the new season, with a mysterious Mercy skin hinting at a potential theme shift.
The teaser trailer, which primarily focused on the introduction of the new DPS hero Venture, included a brief shot of a character wearing a dark Talon skin and sporting a skull mask. As the character laughs and says "No mercy," fans were quick to speculate that this could be a preview of a new skin for the support hero Mercy.

It's unclear at this point whether the Mercy skin will be part of Season 10's Mythic items, available in the store, or included in the Battle Pass. However, many players believe that this skin indicates a significant theme shift for the upcoming season, possibly involving the nefarious faction Talon.
Talon, known for its roster of antiheroes like Doomfist, Sombra, and Widowmaker, may play a prominent role in Season 10. Some fans have theorized that the season could explore a scenario where good characters turn evil and vice versa, akin to Marvel's 'What If' comics.
While these theories are speculative, the potential for hero swaps and alternate storylines has generated considerable excitement among Overwatch fans. The idea of characters like Hammond and Winston switching roles or Genji facing off against Hanzo in a new context opens up a world of possibilities for Season 10.
As we await the release of Season 10, we eagerly anticipate the full trailer that will hopefully shed more light on what's to come. Be sure to stay tuned for updates on Season 10 in our dedicated Overwatch section, where we'll provide a comprehensive breakdown of all the latest developments.
