Overview
- Season 4 launched Tuesday and introduced the new track‑based battle pass alongside new tank hero D. Mon.
- Blizzard split the old 80‑tier linear pass into multiple shorter, selectable tracks so players can choose which cosmetics to unlock first while preserving the same total number of tiers and overall grind.
- The premium pass now includes a single Tier Hack that lets buyers swap one Legendary skin at the end of a track for a curated legacy Legendary skin.
- A Legacy Battle Pass Unvault will arrive midseason in September to let players buy select past passes permanently but Blizzard says unvaulted versions will exclude original premium currency, Mythic Prisms, Prestige Titles, and Mythic hero or weapon skins.
- Players have reacted mostly positively about reduced FOMO while some raised concerns about where free currency and Mythic prisms are placed in the new structure and about remaining purchase windows and implementation details that Blizzard plans to clarify in upcoming streams and posts.
