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. The relaunch coincides with the start of Season 15, promising a celebration spanning several weeks.

Chinese players will have the opportunity to acquire Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 through 9. Rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 will be available pre-launch, while Seasons 3-9 will be obtainable through in-game events post-launch. This extensive reward system compensates for the game's previous unavailability in the region.

A significant highlight of the relaunch is the introduction of skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology in Season 15. While specifics remain scarce, the potential for new or existing skins, and their exclusivity to the Chinese market, remains a point of speculation. This could potentially be a larger thematic element for Season 15, mirroring the Norse mythology theme of Season 14. Details are expected to emerge in early February.

Prior to the main event, players globally 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 missed these previous events, the upcoming relaunch festivities provide ample compensation.
