Ready to sink your teeth into some fresh Overwatch content? Season 5 has officially kicked off today, and it's leaning hard into vampire vibes — no Halloween required.
The headline addition is a brand-new vampiric hero joining the roster. If you've been waiting for a fresh face to shake up your matches, this one comes with plenty of thematic bite. Alongside them, there's a new escort map to learn, which means new sightlines, new flank routes, and a whole lot of "wait, where did that come from?" moments in your first few games.
But the season isn't just about a hero and a map. There's also a new in-game event with an undead theme running through it, so expect spooky cosmetics and limited-time activities to dig into. It seems Blizzard is fully committing to the supernatural mood this time around.
Speaking of cosmetics, thematically appropriate skins are fluttering around the season as well. If you're the type who likes your heroes looking the part, Season 5 has you covered with vampire and undead-inspired looks.
There's also something described as resurrected battle passes, which suggests past battle pass content is making a return in some form. For players who missed out on earlier rewards, that could be a welcome second chance.
So whether you're here for the new hero, the new escort map, the undead event, the skins, or the returning battle pass content, Season 5 is serving up a full plate today. The season is live now, so you can jump in and start exploring everything it has to offer.
What are you most excited to try first — the vampiric hero, the new map, or the undead event? Let us know!
