As an ardent fan, I’m thrilled to share that Overwatch 2 is making a grand comeback in China! This time, it’s not just a return; it’s a reunion with Future Earth. Starting February 19, we’ll be back, right around the beginning of Season 15. The excitement is palpable, as we’ll have the opportunity to participate in events that reward us with loot from Seasons 1 to 9!

Moreover, the Chinese mythology comes alive in Overwatch 2 with skins inspired by these ancient tales. This promises an immersive gaming experience like never before! So, get ready, fellow players! Let’s embark on this epic journey together once again.

Just now, it was disclosed that Overwatch 2 is making a comeback in China. The game is scheduled for a complete re-launch on February 19, but a technical test held from January 8 to 15 enabled enthusiasts to preview many of the features they had been away from, such as Overwatch: Classic and all six heroes that have been introduced since the Chinese servers were shut down during Season 2.

Following the completion of the technical test, here’s a sneak peek at what Chinese players can anticipate with Overwatch 2: A multi-week celebration dubbed “Return to China” has been announced by the game director Aaron Keller on Xiaohongshu (RedNote). This event will bring back several fan-favorite in-game events and rewards that have been missed over the past two years. Moreover, Chinese players will be able to collect Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 before the game’s re-launch, and subsequently earn Battle Pass rewards for Seasons 3 through 9 via in-game events once the game is back online.

Chinese Mythology – Theme for Overwatch 2 Season 15?

Keller further disclosed that the upcoming Season 15 of Overwatch 2 will feature skin packs influenced by Chinese folklore. As of now, it remains undetermined whether these skins are previously created ones or entirely new, if they’ll be exclusive to China, or if they could potentially connect to a broader Chinese mythology storyline for Season 15 that hasn’t been unveiled yet – much like how numerous cosmetics in Overwatch 2 Season 14 were based on Norse mythology.

Fortunately, fans worldwide won’t have to wait much longer as Overwatch 2 Season 15 kicks off on February 18, preceding the official re-launch of the game in China. With less than a month remaining, players can anticipate receiving more information about the upcoming season soon, with detailed disclosures anticipated around early February.

In addition, enthusiasts have the opportunity to participate in Min 1, Max 3 – the second 6v6 test within Overwatch 2 – from January 21 to February 4. The traditional 2-2-2 team setup will be accessible until then. Moreover, the Lunar New Year event and the Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events are scheduled before Season 15, adding more excitement to Overwatch 2 even before Season 15 commences. Regrettably, Chinese players might not participate in these events; however, they can anticipate unique celebrations tailored for them soon.
