Overwatch 2 Unveils Exciting Chinese Exclusives

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 unique twist: skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. While specifics remain scarce, the prospect of new or existing skins themed around Chinese mythology adds an exciting layer to the relaunch. The possibility of a broader Season 15 theme mirroring the Norse mythology focus of Season 14 is particularly intriguing. Further details are expected in early February.

A technical test held in early January provided a sneak peek at the returning content, including Overwatch: Classic and six post-China-shutdown heroes. Following this successful test, Game Director Aaron Keller confirmed a multi-week celebratory event, encompassing many beloved in-game events and rewards. Players will earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1-2 pre-launch, and Seasons 3-9 via post-launch in-game events.

In the interim, players globally can enjoy the "Min 1, Max 3" 6v6 test (January 21st - February 4th), featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition. Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events are also scheduled before Season 15. While Chinese players won't participate in these specific events, their own unique celebrations are on the horizon. The official relaunch on February 19th promises a thrilling experience for the Chinese Overwatch 2 community.
