Overwatch 2 Reveals New China-Exclusive Events

Overwatch 2's triumphant return to China on February 19th brings a wealth of rewards and exciting events for players. This relaunch includes access to previously missed content, spanning Seasons 1 through 9, allowing players to catch up on Battle Pass rewards and participate in popular in-game events.

The highly anticipated Season 15 will feature a captivating theme: skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. While specifics remain scarce, the prospect of new or existing skins, and their potential exclusivity to the Chinese market, fuels excitement. This could even mark the beginning of a broader Chinese mythology-themed season, mirroring the Norse mythology inspiration of Season 14. A full reveal is expected in early February.

A technical test held from January 8th to 15th offered a sneak peek at the upcoming content, including Overwatch: Classic and recently released heroes. Following the test, game director Aaron Keller confirmed a multi-week celebratory event, granting access to missed rewards and events. Players will earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 before launch, and Seasons 3 through 9 via post-launch in-game events.

Further pre-Season 15 excitement includes the "Min 1, Max 3" 6v6 test (January 21st - February 4th), featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition, along with the Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events. While Chinese players missed these earlier events, their own unique celebrations are on the horizon. The anticipation for Season 15 is high, with more details promised soon.
