Overwatch 2's Triumphant Return to China: A Celebration of Rewards and Mythological Skins

Overwatch 2 is making a grand comeback to China on February 19th, bringing with it a wealth of rewards and exciting events. Chinese players will have the opportunity to catch up on missed content, including Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1-9 and participation in popular in-game events.

The relaunch, following a successful technical test in January, promises a multi-week celebration. Players will earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 prior to the official launch, with Seasons 3-9 rewards obtainable through post-launch in-game events. This initiative ensures that the Chinese community can experience the full breadth of Overwatch 2's content.

Season 15: A Glimpse into Chinese Mythology

A significant highlight of the relaunch is the planned release of skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology in Season 15, beginning February 18th. While specifics remain scarce, the prospect of new or existing skins themed around Chinese mythology is generating considerable excitement. The possibility of a broader season-long theme mirroring the Norse mythology influence in Season 14 is also intriguing. Further details are anticipated in early February.

Pre-Season 15 Festivities

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's commencement. Although Chinese players may miss these specific events, their own celebratory experiences upon the game's return are sure to be memorable. The February 19th relaunch marks not just a return, but a vibrant re-entry into the world of Overwatch 2 for the Chinese player base.
