Blizzard Entertainment has embraced the seasonal model in Overwatch 2, using it as a method of ongoing evolution to keep the game feeling new, even years after its release.
The original Overwatch spanned 35 competitive seasons over six years, from season one in 2016 to season 35 in 2022. As of 2025, Overwatch 2 is in its 15th season. Each season typically lasts around two months, introducing new heroes, maps, and other content to the game.
Here’s everything you need to know about the history of seasons in OW1 and OW2.

Season 15 is a season of change for OW2. The new season introduces Perks, which are mid-match upgrades for all heroes that can drastically change the game. Season 16 will feature the game’s 43rd hero, the crossbow-wielding Freja.
