Overwatch 2 Season 14 is set to debut in just under a week, but a new hero and some throwbacks to Overwatch’s past aren’t the only things to look forward to. Activision Blizzard has dropped the Season 14 launch trailer, and it ended with a glimpse of Overwatch 2’s next collaboration: Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The world of Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Overwatch 2! ⬇️✨
Join the fun when our latest collaboration arrives in-game on Dec 17 🤩 pic.twitter.com/Z0HvK17NXv— Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) December 5, 2024
The image is meant to invoke Avatar Aang, the main character of The Last Airbender. But if this is anything like Overwatch 2’s previous collaborations, it will simply be an Aang-inspired costume for one of the game’s characters. That’s going to arrive on December 17.
In the meantime, Season 14 is set to premiere on December 10. As seen in the launch trailer below, the new character is named Hazard, and he’s a tank hero who is very fast for his size. He’s also got the ability to create artificial walls during battles, which may shake up some of the dynamics in the game.
The trailer also showcases Mythic Thor Reinhardt, which lets players wield the power of the Norse god of thunder. Additionally, Season 14 features the return of Winter Wonderland, including Mei’s Snowball Offensive and Freezethaw Elimination. But this part of Season 14 will only last until January 6.
Season 14 will also temporarily bring back 6v6 player matches as a test. There’s going to be a separate 6v6 player test later this season that will bring back the classic 2-2-2 role composition with some additional changes.
