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 opportunities to earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1-9, participate in popular in-game events, and experience the newly announced Season 15.

The highly anticipated return, following a technical test in early January, promises a multi-week celebration. Game director Aaron Keller's announcement on Xiaohongshu details the availability of Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 prior to launch, with Seasons 3-9 accessible through in-game events post-launch.

Season 15: A Chinese Mythology-Inspired Celebration?

Intriguingly, Season 15 will feature skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. While specifics remain scarce, the potential for new or existing skins, their exclusivity to China, and the possibility of a broader Chinese mythology theme for the season are all exciting prospects. Further details are expected in early February, shortly before the season's February 18th launch.

Prior to the main event, players globally can enjoy the Min 1, Max 3 6v6 test (January 21st - February 4th), featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition. The Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events are also slated for pre-Season 15 enjoyment. Although Chinese players missed these previous events, their return to Overwatch 2 will be marked by unique celebrations tailored to their community.
