You saw the five-week Conquest event come to a close with Team Overwatch securing the overall victory. After a back-and-forth battle against Talon, the final results tipped in Overwatch’s favor when the event ended on March 17. Talon opened strong in the first week, but both factions exchanged wins before Overwatch claimed the deciding stretch.
With the faction war settled, you can now log in and claim the New Era Echo skin at no cost. The official announcement praised both sides for their effort and thanked players who took part each week, marking the end of Season 1’s first major meta event.
How to get the New Era Echo skin in Overwatch
You can unlock the New Era Echo skin by logging into Overwatch after Team Overwatch secured the Conquest event victory. The reward becomes available automatically once the event concludes.
This skin is Epic rarity and features Overwatch’s signature blue color scheme.
To equip it:
- Open the Hero Gallery
- Select Echo
- Choose New Era
- Click Equip
You can then use the skin in any available match mode.
Additional Overwatch Cosmetic Options
You can expand your collection beyond the New Era Echo look by browsing the in-game store. The March 17 refresh also brings back Maximilien’s Vault, a limited-time shop tab that tailors its contents to your play history. If you spend more time on heroes like Lifeweaver or Kiriko, you are more likely to see cosmetics tied to those characters.
You can also visit the Overwatch esports shop for competitive-themed items. One featured offer is the Elysian Keeper OWCS Crowdfunding Mega Bundle.
Bundle highlights include:
- Skins for Lifeweaver, Wuyang, and Reinhardt
- Exclusive weapon charms
- Custom name cards
- Player icons
Blizzard directs a portion of proceeds from this bundle toward the Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) Champions Clash prize pool, allowing you to support the competitive scene while adding new cosmetics to your inventory.
