Overwatch 2's triumphant return to China is set for 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 through 9. This will be achieved through a multi-week celebration featuring popular in-game events. Players can earn rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 before launch, and then acquire those from Seasons 3-9 via post-launch in-game events.
A key highlight of the relaunch is the promise of Season 15, which will feature skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. While specifics remain scarce, the potential for new or existing skins, and whether they'll be China-exclusive or part of a broader thematic approach, remains a source of exciting speculation. The timing, coinciding with the February 18th start of Season 15, suggests a full reveal is imminent, likely in early February.
Prior to the main event, players globally can participate in several events. The "Min 1, Max 3" 6v6 test runs from January 21st to February 4th, offering the classic 2-2-2 team composition. The Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events are also slated for pre-Season 15 enjoyment. While Chinese players may miss these specific events, their own celebratory relaunch activities promise to be equally compelling.
