Okay, guys, let’s talk about how I finally got my hands on that sweet Venture Monarch skin in Overwatch 2. I’ve been wanting this skin for a while now, and it wasn’t as straightforward as just buying it from the store.
First off, I heard about this skin through the grapevine, some forum chatter and a few posts talking about a “Calling All Heroes” event. Apparently, it was some kind of Twitch drop promotion. Now, I’m not a Twitch regular, never really used it before, but for this skin, I was willing to dive in.
So, I created a Twitch account. That was step one. Then, I had to figure out how to link my Blizzard account to Twitch. It wasn’t too hard, just a few clicks in the account settings, connecting things up, you know the drill.
Once that was sorted, the real waiting game began. I found out that I needed to watch the “Calling All Heroes” gameplay stream on the official Overwatch Esports channel. I marked it on my calendar. When the day came, I tuned in and just let it play. I wasn’t actively watching every second, just had it on in the background while I did other stuff. You know, making sure to keep an eye on the video from time to time.
After a few hours, I checked back, and there it was! A notification saying I’d earned the Venture Monarch skin. It felt good, man. It automatically appeared in my Overwatch 2 account, ready to use. The skin is pretty cool, by the way. It gives Venture this royal, kind of commanding look with a nice color scheme.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Signed up on Twitch.
- Linked my Blizzard account to my new Twitch account.
- Watched the “Calling All Heroes” stream on the Overwatch Esports channel.
- Waited for the required watch time, got the notification, and boom, the skin was mine.

It was a bit of a process, but hey, I got the skin in the end. If you’re after this skin and missed the initial drop, keep an eye out. They might do it again. Or not. Who knows with these things? Anyway, that’s my story of how I snagged the Venture Monarch skin. Good luck if you’re trying to get it too!
