Overwatch 2 Season 7 Offers a Diablo IV Crossover Event, Sombra Rework, New Map, and More
04.10.2023 - 16:21 / wccftech.com / Lilith Moira / New
With the big Invasion update in the rearview mirror, Blizzard is now preparing to launch Overwatch 2 Season 7, entitled “The Rise of Darkness,” which will be packed with spooky new content, although unfortunately, no new hero. The headlining feature is Trials of Sanctuary, a new Diablo IV crossover co-op survival mode that sees players go up against Moira cosplaying as Lilith. Players can also look forward to a rework for Sombra, new map set on the island of Samoa, and more. Check out a trailer for Season 7, below.
Here’s a bit more detail on what you can expect from Trials of Sanctuary. Of course, classic LTMs like Junkenstein’s Revenge and Wrath of the Bride will also be returning.
“In our first-ever Blizzard crossover game mode launching with our Halloween Terror event, you’ll descend into a battle against the demons of the Burning Hells in an all-new co-op survival brawl, Trials of Sanctuary. Fight as one of six different heroes: Demon Hunter Sombra, Barbarian Zarya, Night Raven Illari, Cleric Lifeweaver, Imperious Reinhardt, and Inarius Pharah, while facing an onslaught of unrelenting forces in a fierce battle for survival. Challenging bosses wait along the way, including Azmodan Wrecking Ball, Butcher Roadhog, and the Blessed Mother herself – Lilith Moira.”
Here’s a bit more detail about the new Samoan map…
“This season, we’re bringing one of our most complex battlefields yet to Overwatch 2. Samoa is a new Control map where you’ll fight on tropical beaches, villages, and even inside a volcano! Watch out for deadly pitfalls, or you might just be swimming in lava! Samoa will be available to play right away in a dedicated Arcade card and will appear in Quick Play and other unranked modes. It will appear in Competitive Play later in the season.”
Finally, you can expect a number of balance changes to roll out alongside Season 7, including Mei reverting to her previous kit, and some tuning and tweaking for Zarya, Orisa, Ramattra, Wrecking Ball, Cassidy, Torbjorn, Brigitte, and Illari. But again, Sombra is getting the biggest shakeup with a whole new kit.
“We’ve removed Opportunist and adjusted Sombra’s Stealth ability to be a passive that starts automatically when Sombra is not taking damage or dealing damage or abilities. Her Translocator is also reworked to instantly teleport her wherever it is thrown. Finally, she has a new ability—Virus—which is a skill shot that deals damage over time to the target it hits and does double damage and at a faster rate if they are already hacked. Along with tuning to her Machine Pistol, Hack, and EMP, you’ll find that she will be better to play with and play against.”
Overwatch 2 can be played on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch. Season 7 kicks off
