All seasons in Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 will be released on October 4, 2022, with its multiplayer component being free-to-play. The developer has already outlined its post-launch plans, which include plans for the game’s earliest seasons. Let’s check out all of the seasons for Overwatch 2, as confirmed by Blizzard.

Overwatch 2 will hit the ground running with Season 1 beginning on the same day as the game is released. From then, it seems that a typical Overwatch 2 season will last for around two months.

When a new season starts in Overwatch 2, ranks will be reset and players will have to be placed again. Blizzard has also revealed that it will be doing away with Loot Boxes and introducing a Battle Pass system. It appears that Blizzard will look to have a new Battle Pass available at the start of every season, as well as at least one Mythic Skin.

Those are all of the seasons that we currently know of in Overwatch 2. As we get closer to the game’s launch, the developers will continue to reveal more details about its post-launch plans.
