It was initially speculated to be releasing on August 15, which is in line with when the Season 5 Battle Pass will end. And it starts on a Tuesday, which is when Blizzard likes to drop seasonal updates and patch notes.
Though in this instance, it seems the devs have decided to go against tradition and launch Season 6 a full five days earlier.
The devs may be planning on releasing the PvE story missions at a different time, perhaps ahead of Season 6 itself, but there’s no telling for certain. After all, they have heavily implied throughout the weeks of teasing the upcoming Season 6 content that it will all be coming out together.
Overwatch 2’s Season 6 is slated to be Blizzard’s biggest content drop to date, so rest assured we’ll keep you posted here with any further details as they emerge.
