Prepare For a Dangerous Chapter For Overwatch With Season 3: Into the Tiger's Den

This season brings Overwatch into a city caught between beauty and collapse, where neon lights cut through drifting smoke and crowds. The streets pulse with life, while old grudges, criminal empires, and dangerous ambitions grow beneath the surface. At the center of it all stands Shion, leader of the Hashimoto Clan and one of the most dangerous new Heroes to emerge in the wake of Talon's growing influence. But this season is more than just who controls the streets. It's about identity. Belonging. And the people we choose to stand beside when the world feels determined to pull us apart.

Battle through the streets of Tokyo in the all-new Hybrid Map, Neon Junction, filled with nods to Japanese culture and easter eggs around every corner. Tokyo also comes to life in our new Anima Strike Meta Event, where you earn new rewards based on which path you choose to go down. That's not all, though! Unlock brand new cosmetics through the Season 3 Battle Pass and in the Shop, like Illari's Ascendant Phoenix Mythic Hero Skin, Hanzo's Tokyo Rebel Mythic Weapon Skin, new Ultra Skins with added VFX, new skins as part of our upcoming YOASOBI collaboration, and much more.
