Aaron Keller, director of Overwatch 2, hinted at the theme for Season 15 as it prepares to launch, coinciding with the resumption of Overwatch servers in China.
After reaching a fresh agreement between Blizzard and NetEase, Overwatch 2 is once again accessible in China. Earlier, the game was unavailable due to unsuccessful negotiations resulting in a standstill. This new development brings about special rewards for returning players and newcomers, as they can now acquire time-limited cosmetics that were previously out of reach.
Besides the resumption of Overwatch for Chinese gamers, it also opened up an opportunity for Keller to give a sneak peek into what players might encounter during Season 15, such as a fresh motif for in-game cosmetics that players are eagerly anticipating.
A global celebration is on the way
On Xiaohongshu (also known as Rednote), Keller recently shared a video hinting at fresh events and cosmetics for Season 15. These exciting developments are part of the game’s festivities upon its comeback to China. Notably, several events in this season are China-exclusive, offering players the opportunity to reclaim mythic skins from previous seasons’ battle passes.
As a gamer, I’m thrilled to share that we’re rolling out some fresh skin packs for the upcoming Lunar New Year celebration. Expect some exciting gameplay additions (Keller didn’t reveal specifics), and these new skins are inspired by Chinese folklore, promising an immersive cultural experience in our game world!
Each year around late January/early February, Overwatch usually hosts its Lunar New Year event. During this time, players could previously secure unique items such as a Year of the Dragon player icon and a fresh Mercy skin. Regrettably, in 2023, there were no new cosmetics introduced to the game.
Keller hasn’t made it clear yet if the overarching theme of Season 15 will be influenced by Chinese mythology in its entirety or just select mythical elements represented as skin bundles. However, with the mid-season update approaching, it’s an exciting time to ponder what fresh content might emerge for the upcoming season.
