Overlook 2 Season 4 kicks off April 11, bringing new supporting hero Lifeweaver to the game and launching a new space opera themed battle pass. In a new trailer for the season, Blizzard explains what players can expect in terms of new skins, new gameplay modes, and new in-game challenges – plus one big change to support hero Brigitte, who is getting a shield upgrade this season.
New hero Lifeweaver will be included as part of the Overlook 2 battle pass in season 4. Players who pay for the season 4 premium battle pass will unlock it immediately; others will have to wait until they reach level 45 in the battle pass. That pass also includes new cosmetics for characters like Hanzo, Lifeweaver, and Sigma, who are getting the Mythic tier skin this season.
Of course, Blizzard will too to sell plenty Overlook 2 skins, including Omnic looks for Junkrat and Roadhog, and a Pinocchio-inspired look for Zenyatta. Elsewhere in the trailer, we see a skin for Tracer that gives her a vaporwave style and a skin for Echo that looks Hajime Sorayama-inspired.
Overlook 2 Season 4 also introduces a new game mode called Starwatch, which appears to be a 4v4 mode set to Horizon Lunar Colony, a map that has been removed from the general map rotation due to Assault mode disappearing for Blizzard’s sequel. It looks like that mode will also have its own space opera-inspired skins that look Warhammer 40,000 and Star Wars-adjacent.
Brigitte also gets a big change: her shield will become much, much wider when she uses her ultimate ability to rally her teammates.
Finally, Season 4 will stretch into Pride Month and it looks like the flags will be flying Overlook 2 from June 1.
