When does Overwatch Season 2 start?

Overwatch Season 2: Summit starts on April 14

Blizzard has set April 14 as the start of Overwatch Season 2, titled “Summit.” The season is tied to the game’s next phase of content updates, including new roster additions and patch changes.

Sierra is the headline new hero for the season, and the period also includes broader Overwatch changes reflected in season rollout materials and patch notes.

Because Season 2 arrives the same time as the console/port timing discussed in other updates, the practical impact for players is immediate: progression, meta, and competitive matchmaking shifts are expected to align with the season’s launch window.

What to expect at launch

Based on the materials in circulation around Season 2:

• A new hero, Sierra, enters the roster
• Season-long content updates begin from the April 14 window

For players planning to return or switch regions/platforms, April 14 is the key date to watch for the official patch to fully roll out across their platform.
