Overwatch 2 - Season 5_03

Remember Overwatch 2, which received its long-awaited PvE story missions in August with Season 6: Invasion? The hype has died down, but support continues with its next season, Rise of Darkness, launching on October 10th.

The launch trailer for Season 7 will debut on October 4th, but based on leaks, the new season and Premium Battle Pass centers around evil spirits and ghosts. The next Mythic Skin is reportedly for Hanzo, while the next major collaboration event focuses on Diablo 4. Coincidentally, the latter will see the launch of Season of Blood on October 17th.

Stay tuned for more details on Overwatch 2 Season 7: Rise of Darkness in the coming week. The hero shooter is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch, and is free-to-play. Check out our review of the launch version here, though it’s since evolved with new heroes, modes like Flashpoint and Hero Mastery, and more.
