Overwatch 2's triumphant return to China is set for February 19th, following a two-year absence. A technical test will precede the launch, commencing January 8th and concluding on the 15th. This marks the end of a long wait for Chinese players who missed 12 seasons of content.
The game's unavailability stemmed from the expiration of Blizzard's contract with NetEase in January 2023. However, a renewed partnership in April 2024 paved the way for the game's return. The technical test will allow Chinese players to experience all 42 heroes, including the newest additions, and the classic 6v6 mode.

The return coincides with the start of Overwatch 2 Season 15. Furthermore, Blizzard's commitment to the Chinese esports scene is underscored by the announcement that the first live Overwatch Championship Series event in 2025 will be held in Hangzhou.
Chinese players will have a significant amount of catching up to do, having missed six new heroes (Lifeweaver, Illari, Mauga, Venture, Juno, and Hazard), new game modes (Flashpoint and Clash), maps (Antarctic Peninsula, Samoa, and Runasapi), story missions (Invasion), and numerous hero reworks and balance changes. They may unfortunately miss the 2025 Lunar New Year event, but hopes remain for a belated celebration.
