Blizzard Entertainment’s popular game Overwatch began Season 2: Summit on April 14, 2026.
A launch trailer has been released, and the Nintendo Switch 2 version is also set for release.
Season 2: Summit Update Details Announced!
The first new season since the title returned to Overwatch and the season numbering was reset is about to begin!
Season 2 is packed with new elements, including the debut of a new hero.
New Damage Hero Sierra Added! High Flexibility Is Her Signature Style
The new hero being added this time, Sierra, is the Head of Security for Watchpoint: Grand Mesa.
She was implemented as a damage hero who utilizes tools such as a combat drone, Dorothy, to attack opponents with her rifle while freely changing positions.
The trailer shows a scene where she marks and shoots down a Pharah in mid-air with an ability.
Pay close attention to the changes in the competitive environment following Sierra’s addition.
New Event Operation: Grand Mesa Unfolds!
A new event spotlighting the newly added Sierra will also unfold!
This event consists of four parts.
By completing event challenges, you can enjoy Sierra’s story, which has not been revealed in trailers or elsewhere.
The event period is from April 14, 2026, to May 4, 2026.
Do not miss out, as limited items such as icons can also be obtained as rewards.
Post-Match Accolades Return!
The voting feature implemented in the original Overwatch has returned!
This feature allows players to decide the MVP through a voting system.
You can praise players who made great plays that do not show up in the stats on the score screen.
Additionally, as a new element, voice chat will be possible after matches.
Praising each other’s efforts after a match seems like it will become another way to enjoy the game.
Map ATLANTIC PENINSULA Rework
The Control map ATLANTIC PENINSULA, which was previously removed in an older version, has returned after being reworked!
Since the development team had mentioned that they had wanted to rework parts of the map for some time, this long-awaited rework has been realized.
Just like with Sierra, pay attention to the development of new strategies.
Two New Mythic Items with Extensive Customization Options!
The Soldier: 76 Mythic Skin Volted Overdrive and Genji Mythic Weapon Skin Sumi-ichimonji have been added!
Customizations for these skins can be unlocked by progressing through four levels.
