Overwatch 2 Finally Returning to China

Overwatch 2's triumphant return to China is set for February 19th, following a two-year absence. A technical test will precede the launch, commencing January 8th and concluding on the 15th. This marks the end of a long wait for Chinese players, who missed 12 seasons of content.

The hiatus began on January 24th, 2023, due to the expiration of Blizzard's contract with NetEase. However, a renewed partnership in April 2024 paved the way for the game's return.

The technical test offers a chance to experience all 42 heroes, including the newest additions like Hazard, and the classic 6v6 game mode. The official launch on February 19th coincides with the start of Overwatch 2 Season 15.

Furthermore, the Overwatch Championship Series will make a comeback in 2025, featuring a dedicated China region. The inaugural live event will be held in Hangzhou, celebrating the game's resurgence in the region.

Chinese players will have a considerable amount of catching up to do, having missed six new heroes (Lifeweaver, Illari, Mauga, Venture, Juno, and Hazard), new game modes (Flashpoint and Clash), maps (Antarctic Peninsula, Samoa, and Runasapi), story missions (Invasion), and numerous hero reworks and balance changes. Regrettably, they may miss the 2025 Lunar New Year event, though a potential belated celebration is hoped for.
