One of the best times to jump back intoOverwatch 2is when a fresh nine-week long season begins, and it looks like that’s not changing with Season 7. Developer Blizzard has revealed that it’s launching on Oct. 10, and while we don’t have many details about ityet, a newly released teaser trailer does reveal a fair amount of what’s coming to the PvP hero shooter.
Based on the contents of theteaser video, it seems clear that Season 7 — officially titled “Rise of Darkness” — is themed after Blizzard’s action RPG series Diablo. The trailer showed a Diablo-inspired overhaul for Overwatch 2’s Blizzard World map, as well as a hellish portal that looks like it came straight out ofDiablo 4, zomnic enemies from the (presumably returning) Junkenstein’s Revenge PvE Halloween event, and some themed character skins for Wrecking Ball and Moira.
There wasn’t much shown of the new Wrecking Ball skin, but fans did get a close look at the Moira one that’s styled to look like Lilith, the Blessed Mother herself. Considering how awesome it is, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was Season 7’s customizable Mythic skin, though we won’t know for sure until Blizzard reveals more information.

Notably, there’s nowa listing for Overwatch 2 Season 7’s official trailer on YouTube, and it’s scheduled to premiere on Oct. 4 at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET. Presumably, it will show off more of what was revealed in the new teaser, as well as the upcoming Control map Samoa that was recently announced during the Overwatch League Grand Finals 2023 and everything else Blizzard has in store for players.

Overall, withDiablo 4 Season 2slated to launch a week after Rise of Darkness does and October being the “spooky month” in general, now is as good a time as ever to have a crossover-style season themed after Blizzard’s demonic hack-and-slash franchise.
