Overwatch 2 Unveils Festive Lunar New Year Events in China

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.

Chinese players will have the opportunity to earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1-2 prior to the game's relaunch, and subsequently unlock rewards from Seasons 3-9 through special in-game events. The celebration will extend over multiple weeks, featuring many popular events.

Season 15: A Chinese Mythology-Inspired Celebration?

A significant highlight of the relaunch is the promise of Season 15, which will feature skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. While specifics remain undisclosed, the potential for new skins, China-exclusive releases, or a broader thematic integration into Season 15's overall design, similar to Season 14's Norse mythology theme, is highly anticipated. Further details are expected in early February, shortly before the season's February 18th launch.

Pre-Season 15 Activities:

Before the launch of Season 15, players globally can participate in several events, including 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 specific events, their own celebratory relaunch events promise a unique and rewarding experience.
