For fans of Overwatch 2, December 5 is a date to circle on your calendar. That’s when Season 14’s official trailer drops, offering a sneak peek at what’s to come. As we approach the end of Season 13, which gifted players with a wealth of new features—such as the Overwatch Classic game mode—the excitement for what lies ahead is palpable.
Season 13 has been thrilling, yet there’s a special buzz around the even-numbered seasons. The reason? Overwatch 2 introduces a new hero every other season. Season 10 brought us the Damage hero Venture, and in Season 12, the Support hero Juno made her first appearance. Now, Season 14 is next in line, and it will see the much-anticipated debut of Tank hero Hazard as a permanent addition to the roster.
Though Overwatch 2 players have already had the chance to test Hazard on a temporary basis, the hero will officially join the main roster when Season 14 launches on December 10. In terms of what else the season will bring, fans are still somewhat in the dark. Fortunately, that’s about to change. Blizzard plans to release the Season 14 trailer on Thursday, December 5, at 11:00 am CT, promising to showcase the new skins available through the Battle Pass and other upcoming content.
Moving on, what else can we expect from Overwatch 2’s Season 14? The forthcoming trailer is likely to shed light on what this year’s Winter Wonderland event will entail. This festive, annual event typically brings holiday-themed skins to the store and introduces limited-time game modes. Although previous years’ modes are expected to reappear, the full list of new surprises remains uncertain.
Additionally, there are upcoming tests within Season 14 that players should take note of. Blizzard will be conducting two distinct 6v6 tests. The first test, taking place a week into the season, will use an Open Queue format with at least one role and a maximum of three roles per team. The second will occur midway through the season, this time following a 2-2-2 role setup.
Finally, there’s some good news for fans of the character Venture. Blizzard has hinted at an exciting new skin for Venture in Season 14, addressing complaints about the lack of cosmetic updates since their introduction in Season 10. As more details on what Overwatch 2 Season 14 has to offer are unveiled, keep an eye out for further announcements on December 5.
