Season 18 has started in Overwatch 2, and Blizzard has introduced a new cosmetic with some unique features for Kiriko. We are talking about a new emote for the support character called Skateboard, where the hero rides a skateboard while having a drink.
However, the most interesting part is that players can traverse while using this emote, meaning they can move wherever with Kiriko on the hovering skateboard. If you want to try it out for yourself, we have a guide that explains how to unlock it.
How to unlock Kiriko's Skateboard emote
The only way to unlock the new Skateboard emote for Kiriko is through the Season 18 battle pass. Players can unlock the emote by reaching tier 11 in the battle pass, as you can see in the image below:
The emote is part of the premium battle pass rewards, meaning only players who purchase the premium or ultimate battle pass will receive this cosmetic.
Once the season ends, players will have to wait until the emote is added to the loot box rewards or when the cosmetic becomes available to purchase with silver credits on the Hero Gallery to have another chance at obtaining the emote. This is not guaranteed to happen in the next season.
When does Overwatch 2 Season 18 end?
Overwatch 2 Season 18 is scheduled to end on Tuesday, October 14th at 11:00 AM PT (7:00 PM BST). That means you have approximately seven weeks to purchase the battle pass and earn the new cosmetic.
