Overwatch 2 Unveils Regional Events Tailored for Chinese Players

Author : Lucas Feb 21,2025

Overwatch 2's triumphant return to China on February 19th brings a wealth of rewards and exciting events for players. This relaunch includes opportunities to earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1-9, participate in popular in-game events, and experience the thrill of newly released heroes.

A technical test, conducted from January 8th to 15th, offered a sneak peek at the content missed during the game's absence, including Overwatch: Classic and six post-shutdown heroes.

Following the test, Game Director Aaron Keller announced a multi-week celebratory event on Xiaohongshu (RedNote). This event will feature many missed in-game events and rewards. Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 will be available pre-launch, with Seasons 3-9 rewards obtainable through in-game events post-launch.

Season 15: A Chinese Mythology Infusion?

Keller hinted at Season 15's inclusion of skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. The specifics remain undisclosed, leaving open the possibility of new or existing skins, China-exclusive releases, or even a broader Chinese mythology theme for the season, mirroring the Norse mythology theme of Season 14. Details are expected in early February, shortly before the season's February 18th launch.

In the meantime, the global Overwatch 2 community can enjoy the "Min 1, Max 3" 6v6 test (January 21st-February 4th), featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition, alongside Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events. While Chinese players may miss these events, their own unique celebrations are on the horizon.
