Overwatch 2 Season 14 Brings A New Hero, Avatar: The Last Airbender Crossover, And More

As a hardcore Overwatch 2 fan who’s been through the trials and tribulations of countless seasons, I couldn’t help but let out a joyous yelp when I heard about the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration! Growing up with Aang and his friends was a significant part of my childhood, and seeing them blend into the world of Overwatch is nothing short of magical.

In approximately one week, Overwatch 2 will introduce Season 14, but there’s more to get excited about than just new characters and nostalgic elements from Overwatch’s history. Notably, Activision Blizzard has unveiled the Season 14 launch trailer, hinting at a future collaboration between Overwatch 2 and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

🌎 I’m thrilled to share that the enchanting universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender is making its way into Overwatch 2! 💥
Get ready to jump in and experience the excitement when this exciting collaboration hits the game on Dec 17th 🤩

This image appears to depict a character resembling Avatar Aang from The Last Airbender series. However, if Overwatch 2’s past collaborations are any indication, it will likely be a costume for one of the game’s characters that is inspired by Aang. This new costume is expected to become available on December 17th.

For now, it’s been announced that Season 14 will debut on December 10th. The trailer for the launch reveals a new character called Hazard, who is a swift tank hero despite his size. He also possesses the unique skill to construct walls during combat, which could potentially alter the gameplay dynamics.

The trailer also showcases Mythic Thor Reinhardt, which lets players wield the power of the Norse god of thunder. Additionally, Season 14 features the return of Winter Wonderland, including Mei’s Snowball Offensive and Freezethaw Elimination. But this part of Season 14 will only last until January 6.

In Season 14, we’ll reintroduce temporary 6-player team battles for a trial period. Later in this season, there’s going to be a separate test for 6v6 matches, which will reinstate the traditional 2-2-2 role composition and include some new tweaks.
