Highlight intros

Highlight intros are short cinematic animations of each hero that play before Play of the Game clips. Highlight intros are cosmetic items, and are unlocked by opening loot boxes or by purchasing them with credits. Players can equip the highlight intros of their choosing from the Hero Gallery.

Each hero has one "Heroic" intro available by default. There are 88 non-default intros available to unlock.

There are 40 that can only be unlocked from seasonal loot boxes:
 * 10 from Summer Games loot boxes. (Ana, Ashe, Baptiste, Hanzo, Junkrat, Lúcio, Moira, Orisa, Pharah and Tracer)
 * 8 from Halloween loot boxes. (Genji, Mei, Reaper, Roadhog, Ashe, Winston, McCree and Brigitte)
 * 5 from Winter loot boxes. (Symmetra, Widowmaker, Mei, Wrecking Ball and Reinhardt)
 * 6 from Lunar loot boxes. (Mercy, Junkrat, Lúcio, Tracer, McCree and Roadhog)
 * 11 from Archives loot boxes. (Torbjörn, D.Va, two for Doomfist, Hanzo, Orisa, Sigma, Sombra, Wrecking Ball, Zarya and Zenyatta)

Trivia

 * To make the sounds of Genji's swords in his Warrior's Salute highlight intro, sound designer Brian Farr banged two large swords together and reversed the sound. The swords' whooshing sounds were performed by a Blizzard employee who is an expert with swords.
