Two weeks ago, Overwatch League announced that a special Winston skin would soon be released to celebrate the London Spitfire's inaugural season championship victory. The "Flying Ace" skin was shown off during Overwatch League and fans were excited to see a skin that would be a testament to London's history-making season.
The wait is now over. Winston's "Flying Ace" skin is now available in Overwatch. The Winston skin will only be available for until September 16th so log into the game and pick yours up as soon as possible. The skin can be unlocked with 200 Overwatch League Tokens. You can receive tokens by watching Overwatch League matches on Twitch or you can buy them directly through Overwatch. 200 Overwatch League tokens would set you back $10. It seems like a bit of a hefty price to pay, but the skin is sweet and a fun way to celebrate the Spitfire's season. Besides, if you watch OWL regularly, you probably have more than enough tokens to purchase it.
The "Flying Ace" Winston skin is neat because its theme is based on the Spitfire. It's an aero-inspired look that has an air of sophistication about it, which probably has something to do with the awesome mustache Winston is rocking. It highlights the yellow and baby blue colors of the Spitfire. A flight jacket with goggles and a helmet recall an earlier time in aviation, resembling the iconic planes the London team is named after. The skin's plane engine jump pack is an incredible detail that really ties the entire outfit together.
This is the second commemorative skin that Overwatch has released. The other came out for 2018 MVP Jjonak and had a specific Zenyatta skin to celebrate his show-stopping season. Like the Winston skin, Jjonak's was only available for a limited time as well. Commemorative skins are a unique way to celebrate Overwatch League and its players and teams.
The Spitfire's Winston skin is the perfect getup for players who love London and are just fans of Overwatch League in general. Don't miss your opportunity to get this skin. It is available now and until September 16th.
