Blizzard unveils the Overwatch 2 Starwatch event as one of the main centrepieces for the latest season of its multiplayer game. As we ramp up to its release date, the Overwatch 2 season 4 trailer and roadmap are unveiled, and they include a Pride event with the game\u2019s freshest newcomer at its centre, a Space Opera theme for the premium battle pass, and the chance to play on a new fan-made map.<\/p>\n

The full trailer, which you can see below, shows off all the events we can expect in the upcoming season. We get a glimpse of uniformed Starwatch looks for Sigma, Soldier: 76, Mercy, and Sojourn, all of whom have very stylish black outfits with crimson and gold trim. On the other side of things, we see some rather spectacular fashion choices sported by Wrecking Ball, Lucio, Torbj\u00f6rn, Doomfist, and Winston.<\/p>\n

The Starwatch limited-time event begins on May 9, and features a new game mode along with a tie-in comic.<\/strong> That\u2019s not all that you can expect from season 4, however, as another new mode called B.O.B and Weave begins alongside the season start on April 11, and gives you the chance to earn a free Epic Cassia Lifeweaver skin for playing it.<\/p>\n

Overwatch\u2019s newest face is, of course, also set to take a central role in the Overwatch 2 Pride celebrations, which begin on June 1. As noted in our preview, the Thai plant manipulator Lifeweaver is pansexual, so expect to see him featured alongside cover stars Tracer and Soldier: 76 during the event.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a Symmetra challenge beginning on May 23, which will let you put Lifeweaver\u2019s fellow Vishkar Academy alumni Symmetra in a delightful Epic Gardener skin earned by taking part in the free event. Meanwhile, from May 25 you\u2019ll be able to play on Talantis, a fan-made map that (as you might expect from the name) looks to have a rather spectacular underwater theme.<\/p>\n

Overwatch 2 season 4\u2019s battle pass has a Space Opera theme, and is headlined by the new Mythic skin, Galactic Emperor Sigma. There\u2019ll be quite a few goodies on offer for free, with plenty more available to players who stump up the 1000 Overwatch Coins. There\u2019s even more skins set to join the game\u2019s premium cosmetic shop \u2013 including a gorgeous Pinocchio-style look for my beautiful orb boy Zenyatta that I can\u2019t help but be a little tempted by.<\/p>\n
