Blizzard has officially launched the Overwatch 2 dating sim Loverwatch - Love Never Dies, which interested fans can play for themselves by clicking here. The Overwatch franchise has traditionally stayed away from Valentine's Day, instead focusing on seasonal events for other holidays. That's changing with Overwatch 2, which is hosting a special Ultimate Valentine's Day event to celebrate the annual holiday.The Overwatch 2 Ultimate Valentine's Day event runs until February 28. During the event, players can check out the new Team Deathmatch mode called Love of Geometry, with Cupid Hanzos battling it out with the character's classic Scatter Arrow ability at their disposal. The Love of Geometry event will only be available in Overwatch 2 for a limited time, but those that want to have the skin for keeps can purchase it from the shop.The Love of Geometry game mode may be the most significant addition to Overwatch 2 in-game for the Valentine's Day event, but the dating sim will no doubt get some attention as well. The non-canon dating sim has players attempt to romance Genji or Mercy. Any Overwatch 2 fans that take the time to play the dating sim can earn some rewards that will be added to the actual game as part of a future update.
It's unclear why the Overwatch 2 dating sim isn't available in-game, but it should still make for a unique distraction for fans. It's just the latest addition to the franchise, with Blizzard recently launching Overwatch 2 Season 3 as well. Taking fan feedback into account, Overwatch 2 Season 3 has implemented many quality-of-life changes designed to not only keep dedicated players engaged but hopefully bring back lapsed players.
Besides quality-of-life improvements, Overwatch 2 Season 3's biggest addition is the new Antarctic Peninsula map. A new Control map, Antarctic Peninsula is one of the only maps in the game that features ice as a major element, which should go a long way in helping it stand out from the rest of the maps in the game.
There was no new character in Overwatch 2 Season 3, but more characters are certainly in the works for the hero-shooter. Blizzard spent the first couple seasons of Overwatch 2's early access to get the game established, and now it's hoping to set up a pattern when it comes to new characters and maps. Overwatch 2 players should be able to expect a new character and a new map every other season, so there should be plenty of content for fans to look forward to in the months ahead.
Overwatch 2 is out now in early access for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
