Blizzard Entertainment, one of the most prominent companies in the gaming industry, surprises fans again with the announcement of Season 7 of Overwatch 2 named “Rise of Darkness”. This new installment promises to immerse players in an environment filled with darkness, adrenaline, and action.
New content inspired by Halloween
Through a recent trailer, the company unveiled what players can expect this season. In addition to introducing new thematic skins related to the Halloween festivity, they have introduced game modes and mechanics that promise to keep users on the edge of their seats.
Trials of Sanctuary: The meeting of two worlds
Moving away from the known “Junkenstein’s Revenge”, the new star is Trials of Sanctuary, an innovative PvE mode that emerges from the collaboration with another gaming titan: Diablo 4. Here, players get the opportunity to control iconic heroes like Inarius Pharah, Imperious Reinhardt, Demon Hunter Sombra, among others. Their mission: to face fearsome Zomnics and bosses such as Butcher Roadhog and Azmodan Wrecking Ball in a reimagined Blizzard World filled with mystery and horror. Furthermore, as they progress through the game, players can access new weapon upgrades, culminating in an epic showdown against Lilith Moira.
Skins and novelties that will make a difference
This season brings with it 17 new Halloween-inspired skins. These will be available both in the store and in the Premium Battle Pass, highlighting the mythical appearance of Onryō Hanzo. But that’s not all. A new Control map will also be introduced, Samoa, and Sombra will premiere a review highly anticipated by the community.
