Overwatch 2's Exciting Return to China
Get ready, Overwatch 2 fans in China! The much-anticipated return of Overwatch 2 to China is set for February 19, aligning perfectly with the kickoff of Season 15. This relaunch isn't just a simple return; it's a celebration packed with rewards and events that will make every player feel like they're diving back into the action on Future Earth.
The journey back to Overwatch 2 in China began with a successful technical test from January 8 to 15, allowing players to get a taste of what they've missed, including Overwatch: Classic and the six new heroes introduced since the servers went offline in Season 2. Now, as the technical test wraps up, the excitement builds for what's to come.
Reaping the Rewards of Seasons 1-9
Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller shared some thrilling news on Xiaohongshu (RedNote): Chinese players are in for a multi-week "Return to China" celebration. This event will feature some of the most popular in-game events and rewards from the past two years. Not only that, but all Chinese players will have the chance to earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 before the official relaunch, and rewards from Seasons 3 through 9 will be available through in-game events post-relaunch. It's like getting a second chance to enjoy all the content you missed out on!
Chinese Mythology in Season 15
Adding to the excitement, Season 15 will introduce skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. While details are scarce, the possibilities are endless—will these be new skins, existing ones, or perhaps exclusive to China? Could they be part of a larger theme for Season 15, much like the Norse mythology theme of Season 14? Fans won't have to wait long to find out, as Season 15 kicks off on February 18, just before the game's official relaunch in China.
With the new season just over a month away, expect more information to roll out in early February. And while Chinese players gear up for their special celebrations, global fans can enjoy the second 6v6 test, "Min 1, Max 3," from January 21 to February 4, featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition. Plus, don't miss out on the Lunar New Year and the Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events, set to happen before Season 15.
So, whether you're in China or anywhere else in the world, Overwatch 2 is gearing up for an action-packed start to 2025 with plenty of events and rewards to keep everyone engaged and excited. Get ready to jump back into the fray and celebrate the return of Overwatch 2 to China!
