Overwatch 2 Season 15 leaks

All of the secrets are now out thanks to the Overwatch 2 Spotlight stream! Despite some folks revealing content such as upcoming hero Freja ahead of the stream, Blizzard did eventually post everything that players can expect in Overwatch 2 Season 15 — this includes a Freja hero trial! There's also the arrival of loot boxes that players can earn through weekly and event rewards or the Battle Pass.

Overwatch 2 Season 15 mythic

As for what else to expect in Season 15, get ready for a gorgeous mythic Zenyatta skin. There's the Widowmaker's mythic weapon as well. These cosmetics will likely cost you some precious Mythic Prisms. You can earn this in-game currency by progressing through the Season 15 Battle Pass.

Overwatch 2 Season 15 Perks

Don't forget about the arrival of Perks, either. In a match, players can select a minor Perk and a major Perk to change up how they play Overwatch 2 heroes. For example, one of Genji's Perks is Dragon's Thirst. This gives him lifesteal when he uses Dragonblade!

On the ranked side of things, Overwatch 2 Season 15 features a soft rank reset, the arrival of Galactic weapons, end-of-season weapon charms, rank icons, plus some six-versus-six (6v6) action in Competitive queue. There's also some 6v6 action in Quickplay. If that's not enough excitement, then Overwatch 2 Season 15 promises a new LE SSERAFIM collaboration plus the Overwatch Classic GOATS meta, too.

Overwatch 2 Season 15 Honor and Glory trailer

You can also check out the official Overwatch 2 Season 15 trailer as well. It includes everything we already mentioned plus some teasers of upcoming shop and Battle Pass skins.
