The launch trailer for Call of the Hunt, Overwatch 2’s latest season, is now available. It highlights the new content players can expect when Season 8 goes live tomorrow, December 5th. Check it out below.

Along with a new Tank hero, Mauga, there’s a new limited-time mode, Battle of the Beasts. It sees two giant-sized Orisas on each team with their Mythic skins equipped and brawling to the death. Other players must presumably tip the scales on either side, if not attempt to survive.
