Overwatch 2 makes a triumphant return to China on February 19th, bringing with it a wave of celebratory events. Players will have the opportunity to earn rewards missed from Seasons 1 through 9, enjoy themed events, and experience new content. The Chinese community can rejoin the action on Future Earth, just in time for the launch of Season 15.

Following a successful technical test (January 8th-15th), which allowed players to experience missed content including Overwatch: Classic and six new heroes, Overwatch 2 has unveiled its plans for the relaunch. Game director Aaron Keller announced a multi-week celebration on Xiaohongshu (RedNote), promising popular events and rewards. All players will earn Battle Pass rewards from Seasons 1 and 2 before the relaunch, with Seasons 3-9 rewards obtainable through in-game events post-launch.

Chinese Mythology Inspires Overwatch 2 Season 15

Keller also revealed that Season 15 will include skin bundles inspired by Chinese mythology. Whether these are new or existing skins, exclusively for China, or part of a broader thematic season, remains to be seen. This follows the Norse mythology theme of Season 14, hinting at a potential trend of culturally-inspired seasons.

The wait for more details is short-lived. Season 15 begins February 18th, just before the Chinese relaunch. Expect further information, including a full reveal, in early February.

In the meantime, players can participate in the Min 1, Max 3 6v6 test (January 21st-February 4th), featuring the classic 2-2-2 team composition. The Lunar New Year and Moth Meta Overwatch: Classic events are also scheduled before Season 15. While Chinese players may miss these events, they have their own special celebrations to anticipate.
