Overwatch's Taking Reign event heads to its Talon finale

Overwatch's Taking Reign event runs from November 3 to December 7, bringing the Talon storyline to a confrontation at Rialto. Blizzard's November 3 update describes a five-week reward track with 24 tiers.

The finale's reward tracks

Playing and completing challenges advances the event. A free track includes a Sigma cosmetic, while the optional premium track costs 1,000 Overwatch Coins and includes Doomfist and Vendetta rewards. The paid pass remains completable after the event.

A season with different kinds of passes

The earlier Season 5 overview provides useful context for returning players. Its Unvaulted Passes revisit revised Battle Passes from Seasons 1 through 15, carrying over eligible progress instead of requiring every reward to be earned again from the beginning.

One selected Unvaulted Pass can progress alongside the active season's Battle Pass. Match experience contributes to both, and an acquired Unvaulted Pass remains available without an expiry date. Blizzard excludes several original benefits, including Coins, experience boosts, Mythic Prisms, prestige titles and Mythic skins.

These are distinct systems: the Taking Reign Event Pass is not a renamed version of an old seasonal pass. Checking which track a reward belongs to helps avoid spending currency for the wrong cosmetic. Returning players should also review Season 5's revised hero abilities.
