Overwatch 2's triumphant return to China on February 19th brings a wealth of rewards and exciting events for players. This relaunch will allow 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, and the potential for a broader Chinese mythology-themed season, generates significant excitement. The season's launch on February 18th, just prior to the game's official return to China, promises an eventful period for players.
A recent technical test (January 8-15) offered a sneak peek at much of the previously inaccessible content, including Overwatch: Classic and six post-China-shutdown heroes. Following this successful test, Blizzard confirmed a multi-week celebratory event, granting access to popular events and rewards missed during the game's absence. Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 will be available pre-launch, with Seasons 3-9 accessible via in-game events post-launch.
Further enriching the pre-Season 15 experience is the "Min 1, Max 3" 6v6 test (January 21-February 4), featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition. Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events are also planned before Season 15. While Chinese players missed these previous events, they can anticipate unique celebratory content tailored to their market. A full reveal of Season 15's details is expected in early February.
