  "account": "Blizzard has introduced a new Mythic skin for Roadhog in Overwatch season 5's mid-season update. This marks the popular hero's first Mythic skin, fitting for his revamped introduction at the start of the season. The skin, called Necrotic Knight, features Roadhog donning silver and toxic green armor with a mask resembling a plague doctor's beak. The armor's later tiers showcase scarlet armor adorned with jade ropes and a large skull mask.\n\nIn addition to Roadhog's new skin, Overwatch x Stellar Blade collaboration has brought five skins from the action game to the game. However, these skins are only available for purchase. Furthermore, the season's climax event, Taking Reign, sees Doomfist and Overwatch clash in Rialto, lasting for five weeks with 24 tiers of rewards. The rewards consist of a free Epic Sigma skin recolor and a paid event track that includes Vendetta's new weapon and a legendary Doomfist skin.",
