What to expect from Overwatch 2 Season 3: New map and battlepass, anime crossover, and more
Overwatch 2 is getting ready to launch its third competitive season on Tuesday, February 7. This season is special, as it is the first one without a new hero being introduced, marking the start of the "alternating between new hero and new map each season" phase in the game's content roadmap.
Instead of a new hero, players will get a unique control map, the Antarctic Peninsula, and a new mythic skin in the Battlepass.
The latest season also brings about unexpected changes, such as an IP crossover and Overwatch's first foray into text-based dating sims. In this article, we will take a look at everything we know so far about the upcoming season 3.
With a fresh map, new ways to earn credits through the seasonal battle pass, and a variety of special events, this season is shaping up to be a major event in Overwatch 2.
One of the highlights of the third season is the inclusion of the game’s first-ever crossover event. Players will have the chance to get their hands on skins inspired by the popular anime and manga series One Punch Man.
They will get a Saitama-themed skin for Doomfist, Overwatch's own punching machine. Although the only information available is the skin for Doomfist, there may be other skins and cosmetics for fans of One Punch Man. In a blog post, the Overwatch team stated that it is actively looking for more potential collaborations in the future.
New skins are always a major draw for Overwatch 2 players, and Season 3 is no exception. The bulk of the new skins will be inspired by Chinese, Japanese, and Korean mythology, with a particular focus on the new Amaterasu Mythic skin for Kiriko.
This skin, along with themed collections for Moira, Reaper, and Junkrat, will be available through the game’s premium battle pass.
