With the release of Doomfist’s One-Punch Man skin, Season 3 of Overwatch will offer the game’s first intellectual property cooperation alongside an Asian Mythology theme, a new Antarctica Control map, and a Valentine’s Day-themed browser-based Overwatch Dating Simulator.
Season 3 of Overwatch 2 will launch on February 7th, and the One-Punch Man crossover comes after statements from Overwatch’s marketing leader and vice president, Jon Spector, about the company’s interest in exploring brand crossovers in the game a la Fortnite.

Overwatch 2 Season 3 Gets a Hero Upgrade with Doomfist’s One-Punch Man Skin
This will be the first time an external firm has contributed a skin to Overwatch, but Blizzard has previously collaborated with other studios to create unique skins like Widowmaker’s Nova and Kerrigan Legendary for Overwatch.
When talking about Season 3’s new features, the Antarctica Control map naturally comes up first. Mei’s Rise and Shine cinematic showed the main facility of Ecopoint: Antarctica, but this is the first time players will be able to explore it to the fullest. Blizzard says there are many untold stories in this lore-rich wasteland.

As was previously mentioned, Asian mythology will serve as the overarching subject for Season 3. The Premium Battle Pass features Overwatch’s most unique skins to date, and completing it will get players access to the Amaterasu Kiriko Mythic skin, inspired by several deities from Japanese mythology with customizations you may mix and match themed for the moon, the sea, and storms. Additionally, Kiriko’s spirit fox receives a makeover along with the skin.
Season 3 of Overwatch 2 will be significantly more rewarding for regular players, so that’s good news all around. The free Battle Pass track will bring 10 new tiers and 1,500 credits to unlock, while the premium track will add 10 new tiers and 500 credits.
Blizzard also revealed that all 300 of the Overwatch shopping mode event hero skins have been added to the Hero Gallery and will always be available for purchase, with the price drop from 1,900 Credits to 1,500 Credits.
Finally, skins and cosmetics will be obtainable through in-game events other than the Battle Pass; additional information on these will be provided at a later date.
A Hanzo 4v4 Limited Time Mode, Support-themed tasks, two epic skins, and other goodies will be introduced as part of the Ultimate Valentine event, which will also include the Loverwatch Dating Sim.
Players of the non-canon dating sim Loverwatch will have the option of pursuing a romantic relationship with either Mercy or Genji. A Cupid that looks suspiciously like Hanzo will help you out, and there will be various speech paths from which to choose.
If you find the hidden resolution, you’ll be rewarded with a special spotlight for your Play of the Game. From February 13-28, you can check out Loverwatch at this link; the experience shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to finish.
