With the big Invasion update in the rearview mirror, Blizzard is now preparing to launch Overwatch 2 Season 7, entitled “The Rise of Darkness,” which will be packed with spooky new content, although unfortunately, no new hero. The headlining feature is Trials of Sanctuary, a new Diablo IV crossover co-op survival mode that sees players go up against Moira cosplaying as Lilith. Players can also look forward to a rework for Sombra, new map set on the island of Samoa, and more. Check out a trailer for Season 7, below.

Here’s a bit more detail on what you can expect from Trials of Sanctuary. Of course, classic LTMs like Junkenstein’s Revenge and Wrath of the Bride will also be returning.

Fight as one of six different heroes: Demon Hunter Sombra, Barbarian Zarya, Night Raven Illari, Cleric Lifeweaver, Imperious Reinhardt, and Inarius Pharah, while facing an onslaught of unrelenting forces in a fierce battle for survival. Challenging bosses wait along the way, including Azmodan Wrecking Ball, Butcher Roadhog, and the Blessed Mother herself – Lilith Moira.”
