Overwatch 2 Season 3 will not only feature an Asian Mythology theme, a new Antarctica Control map, and a Valentine's Day-themed browser-based Overwatch Dating Simulator, but it will also see the game's first IP collaboration with Doomfist's One-Punch Man skin.

Season 3 of Overwatch 2 will begin on February 7 and the One-Punch Man collaboration follows comments by Overwatch's commercial leader and vice president, Jon Spector, about the company's interest in exploring brand crossovers in the game similar to those seen in Fortnite.

Overwatch previously crossed over with other Blizzard games for special skins like Widowmaker's Nova and Kerrigan Legendary skins, but this will mark the first time Overwatch 2 has seen a skin from another company.

As for the other additions in Season 3, the first one discussed was the new Antarctica Control map. Fans may remember that the main facility of Ecopoint: Antarctica was seen in Mei's "Rise and Shine" cinematic, but this will be the first time players will be able to explore it to the fullest. Blizzard promises it is a "lore-rich tundra with several stories yet to be told."

As previously mentioned, Season 3 as a whole will have an Asian Mythology theme. Alongside featuring Overwatch's "most unique skins to date," those who complete the Premium Battle Pass will be able to unlock the Amaterasu Kiriko Mythic skin, which is "inspired by various deities in Japanese mythology with customizations you can mix and match themed for the moon, the sea, and storms." As an added bonus, Kiriko's spirit fox even gets a new look with the skin.

Players will also be happy to know that Season 3 will offer even more rewards for just logging in and playing Overwatch 2. There will be 10 additional tiers on the
