When will Overwatch 2 Season 15 be released?

Overwatch 2 Season 15 is all set to release on February 18, 2025. While the exact timing is still unknown, players can anticipate updates to commence at around 10 am PST (or equivalent to their local time), based on previous seasons.

In Season 14, the developers implemented various changes to the game's core PvP gameplay by rebalancing the heroes' health pools and adjusting projectile sizes (among many other improvements), which proved to be a successful move. Hence, this upcoming season, they are introducing further changes to improve competitive scenarios.

With the Season 15 update, players can expect a new 6v6 Competitive mode starting midseason (15) in Overwatch 2. Most importantly, in the upcoming season, players will be able to purchase the Jade weapons using Legacy and Competitive points, which the developers had previously decided to vault at the end of Season 14.

Furthermore, there will be a new "out of this world" weapon variant to collect, according to Aaron Keller (the director of Overwatch 2):

"Some of you have been hoping for a weapon skin that has a higher end look to it, and we’ve got something for 2025 that is pretty spectacular. So, while Jade Weapon Variants are going away for now, we’ve got an amazing new weapon variant to collect in 2025 that will be out of this world!"

Unfortunately, Clash, which was introduced as an assault map in 2024, will be removed from Competitive Play in the upcoming season due to some issues that the developers are currently addressing.

Apart from that, there will be a rank reset, aimed at making it easier for new players to group up with friends and participate in Competitive Play together. That said, players can expect an official update before the season starts. Additionally, they can anticipate more changes, some of which have not yet been revealed.
