The release date for Overwatch 2 season 3 is approaching quickly, believe it or not. Season 2 began in the beginning of December, so it might feel like merely a hop, skip, and leap, but a new year brings a new season and additional content to go with it.
As the Overwatch 2 Battle for Olympus ends, we’ve started to focus on what the near future holds for one of the best PC games in recent memory.
After Overwatch 2 season 2, Blizzard’s original launch plan slows down, giving us a little less information about upcoming characters, maps, and events.
Following that, here is everything we currently know to be confirmed for Overwatch 2 season 3, along with a dash of luck-inducing guesswork.

Overwatch 2 Season 3 Release Date
Although the launch date for Overwatch 2 season 3 has not yet been made public, we anticipate it to start on February 7.
🎉 It’s only right we cap off Season 2 with 2x Match XP
🗣 SEVEN DAYS of it, to be precise!

While this date hasn’t been formally set, it’s a pretty safe prediction. Blizzard said the new seasonal model would “bring new content to the game every nine weeks” before Overwatch 2’s premiere.
Blizzard has stated that in the future, the Overwatch 2 multiplayer game’s seasonal content would alternate between a new hero and map per season, as opposed to the previous two seasons’ seasonal content, which featured new Overwatch 2 maps and the hero debuts of Kiriko and Ramattra.
It’s already known that hero 37 will be “a stronger support,” but, probably, this new player won’t make their debut until season 4, as that season will be devoted to growing the map roster. Check out our Overwatch 2 support heroes guides for advice if you’re waiting for this next hero.
Overwatch 2 Season 3 Changes
Executive producer Jared Neuss stated on Twitter ahead of the premiere of season 3 that we may anticipate an update to “help solve the lack of choice in prizes” and that “changes are coming” to the 30% ultimate charge retention that is currently applied when switching characters during a match.
He concluded by stating that “there are enough core issues to fix” – such as team balance and matchmaking – that such innovations are likely to come in later seasons, if at all, in response to fans’ cries for more game types.
Although it may not be what some players want to hear, this communication from Neuss suggests that Overwatch 2 season 3 will focus on improving the current version of the hero shooter rather than bringing plenty of new content.
Several balancing patches, including a Sojourn/Mercy pocket nerf and a Roadhog “soft overhaul,” are already known to be forthcoming. The free PC game should do well heading into Overwatch 2 season 4 and beyond with this emphasis on balance.

Overwatch 2 Season 3 Upcoming Events
We don’t know if there will be a Valentine’s Day event following the Overwatch 2 Lunar New Year event as far as planned Overwatch 2 season 3 events go.
Fans have been calling for it, so we can’t completely rule it out for Overwatch 2 season 3. It would undoubtedly be a first for the series and hence reasonably doubtful.
The Overwatch 2 PvE mode is also in Blizzard’s schedule for 2023, although it’s still unclear whether it will launch in the coming months.
Whatever the case, the launch of season 3 will undoubtedly bring a refresh of new skins, emotes, and voice lines galore to the Overwatch 2 battle pass.
For the time being, those are the only details we have for Overwatch 2 season 3. A closer look toward the end of season 2 will provide more information on upcoming heroes, maps, and events.
If you need to brush up on the current meta, check out our Overwatch 2 tier list because many of the Overwatch 2 characters have updated their kits since the game’s release.
