Overwatch 2 Season 4 Sends Heroes To A Galaxy Far, Far Away With An Epic Space Opera Theme

gamespot.com:

Overwatch 2 Season 4 is shaping up to be quite the showstopper, and it's not solely due to new support hero Lifeweaver's charm and captivatingly-good looks, either. A new blog post has revealed that the upcoming season will see the game's heroes take on intergalactic identities in an epic space opera, in which former friends will be pitted against each other as they are forced to side with either the Watchers or the Infinite Empire.

Starwatch: Galactic Rescue is the name of the limited-time event that gives players the chance to play space hero--or villain. The mode takes place on a reworked Horizon Lunar Colony, where Watchers will be sent to attack the defending Infinite Empire. As for which heroes are on which sides, a glimpse at the upcoming battle pass reveals Space Prince Lucio and Extraterrestrial Winston swear their allegiance to the Watchers, whereas Infinite Ace D.Va and Seer Mercy hail from the Infinite Empire. The event will run from May 9 through May 22.
