As the year wraps up, Blizzard is keeping the momentum going with the fast-approaching launch of Overwatch 2 Season 14. This upcoming season promises exciting additions, including the introduction of the new hero Hazard, 6v6 gameplay tests, fresh cosmetics, and more. So let’s dive into everything we know so far about Overwatch 2 Season 14.
Overwatch 2 Season 14 Release Date and Time
The developers have confirmed that Overwatch 2 Season 14 will go live on Tuesday, December 10th, with the update launching at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST / 6 PM GMT. During this time, there will be a brief server downtime to apply the seasonal update, and Battle.Net players will have the option to preload the update in advance.
New Hero and Content Coming to Overwatch 2 in Season 14
Before diving into the content we expect for Season 14, let's address the big news: the new Tank hero, Hazard, joining the roster. Hazard will be released alongside Season 14 and boasts a range of versatile and impactful abilities, making him a Tank hero who could potentially shake up the meta.
Alongside Hazard’s arrival, the developers plan to test 6v6 gameplay during Season 14 to explore how it could be reintroduced and address the ongoing 5v5 vs 6v6 debate. While we don't know exactly when these tests will start, they will likely begin in the early weeks of Season 14 after Hazard has been fully integrated and no further adjustments are needed.
As for the typical Overwatch 2 content, expect a new Battle Pass packed with fresh cosmetics and rewards. Given that this season falls around the festive period, there will likely be some holiday-themed content, and different tracks in the Battle Pass may offer varying rewards.
A new Mythic skin will also be part of the season, and we're eager to see which hero will be featured this time. There’s also the possibility of exclusive skins tied to the festive season. Additionally, the Winter Wonderland event is likely to return, though with limited details available, we’re not certain if it will drop this year.
For now, much of this is speculation (aside from Hazard and the 6v6 tests), and we’ll only know more as Season 14 approaches and official updates, such as trailers (dropping soon, check below) or blog posts, are released. Stay tuned, as we’ll keep you posted on the latest news and details for Overwatch 2 Season 14!
