[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58383, member: 1"] Overwatch 2 Season 3 will not only feature an Asian Mythology theme, a new Antarctica Control map, and a Valentine's Day-themed browser-based Overwatch Dating Simulator, but it will also see the game's first IP collaboration with Doomfist's One-Punch Man skin. Season 3 of Overwatch 2 will begin on February 7 and the One-Punch Man collaboration follows comments by Overwatch's commercial leader and vice president, Jon Spector, about the company's interest in [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/overwatch-2-boss-interested-in-exploring-fortnite-style-brand-crossovers']exploring brand crossovers in the game similar to those seen in Fortnite.[/URL] [URL='https://www.ign.com/videos/6-amazing-overwatch-skins-based-on-other-blizzard-games']Overwatch previously crossed over with other Blizzard games[/URL] for special skins like Widowmaker's Nova and Kerrigan Legendary skins, but this will mark the first time Overwatch 2 has seen a skin from another company. As for the other additions in Season 3, the first one discussed was the new Antarctica Control map. Fans may remember that the main facility of Ecopoint: Antarctica was seen in Mei's "Rise and Shine" cinematic, but this will be the first time players will be able to explore it to the fullest. Blizzard promises it is a "lore-rich tundra with several stories yet to be told." As previously mentioned, Season 3 as a whole will have an Asian Mythology theme. Alongside featuring Overwatch's "most unique skins to date," those who complete the Premium Battle Pass will be able to unlock the Amaterasu Kiriko Mythic skin, which is "inspired by various deities in Japanese mythology with customizations you can mix and match themed for the moon, the sea, and storms." As an added bonus, Kiriko's spirit fox even gets a new look with the skin. Players will also be happy to know that Season 3 will offer even more rewards for just logging in and playing Overwatch 2. There will be 10 additional tiers on the free Battle Pass track and an additional 1,500 credits to earn, while the premium track will add an additional 500 Credits. Blizzard also noted that all 300 Epic and Legendary event hero skins from Overwatch have been added to the Hero Gallery and will always be available for purchase, and they have also gotten a discount from 1,900 Credits to 1,500 Credits. Lastly, skins and cosmetics will be earnable outside the Battle Pass via in-game events, and more details will be revealed in the future. As for the Loverwatch Dating Sim, it will be part of the Ultimate Valentine event that will see a Hanzo 4v4 Limited Time Mode and Support-themed challenges added to the game alongside two epic skins and other rewards. Loverwatch is a non-canon text-based dating sim where players will have the chance to try to date Mercy or Genji. There will be dialogue options to choose from, and a Cupid that looks "suspiciously like Hanzo" will assist you. If you are able to unlock the secret ending, you will earn a themed POTG Highlight. [URL='https://www.loverwatch.gg/']Loverwatch will be available at this link[/URL] and will be playable from February 13-28 and will take about 30 minutes to complete. There is so much more coming in Season 3, including the return of PachiMarchi from March 21 to April 4, a ton of balance, matchmaking, and quality-of-life changes, the Overwatch World Cup celebration, streamer mode and accessibility improvements, and more.
