Overwatch 2 is making a grand comeback in China on February 19, bringing rewards from Seasons 1-9 and thrilling in-game events for players. Chinese players will have the opportunity to earn Battle Pass rewards and enjoy seasonal festivities, including a special celebration tied to the relaunch. Season 15 will introduce skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology, though specifics remain scarce. Overwatch 2 recently conducted a technical test from January 8 to 15, allowing players to experience much of what was missed since the game went offline in China during Season 2.
According to Overwatch 2 Game Director Aaron Keller, the Return to China celebration will span multiple weeks, offering fans the chance to catch up on missed events and rewards. Additionally, players will be able to earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 prior to the relaunch, while Seasons 3-9 will be accessible through in-game events afterward. Fans worldwide can anticipate more details about Season 15, set to launch on February 18, just before the game's return to China. Meanwhile, other events such as Min 1, Max 3, the Lunar New Year, and the Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic event will take place before Season 15, providing global players with plenty to look forward to. Although Chinese players cannot participate in these events, they can still expect their own special celebrations soon.
