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 will allow Chinese players to catch up on missed content, including Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1-9 and participation in popular in-game events.

The highly anticipated Season 15 will feature a captivating theme: skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. While specifics remain under wraps, the prospect of new or existing skins, potentially exclusive to China, or even a broader mythological theme for the season, has generated significant excitement. Details are expected to emerge in early February, shortly before the season's launch on February 18th.

A recent technical test (January 8th-15th) offered a sneak peek at much of the missed content, including Overwatch: Classic and six new heroes. Following this successful test, Blizzard confirmed a multi-week celebratory event upon the game's official relaunch. Players will earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 pre-launch, and Seasons 3-9 through post-launch in-game events.

In the interim, global players can participate in 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 scheduled before Season 15. While Chinese players may miss these, their own unique celebrations are on the horizon.
