What Is the Overwatch Taking Reign Event?
Taking Reign is a new limited-time event and the closing chapter of the Reign of Talon story that has unfolded across Overwatch over the past year. Over five weeks, players work through games and challenges to progress through the 24 tiers of rewards, with both the Free Pass and the optional Premium Pass offering cosmetics along the way. For background on the story arc leading up to this point, see our piece on Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 5: A Grim Doctrine.
Free Pass Rewards: The Sigma Epic Skin
Every player can take part in the Free Pass, which includes a brand-new Sigma Epic Skin. It offers a straightforward way to join the final chapter without spending anything extra.

For players who want more, the Premium Pass costs 1,000 Overwatch Coins and instantly unlocks Doomfist’s Resurgence Legendary Skin. From there, you can work toward Vendetta’s new Heroic Weapon Skin, Anima Fang, as you progress through the event.
