Overwatch 2 is launching a new iteration of its dating sim event, Loverwatch, first introduced on February 13 two years ago. The latest edition features beloved characters such as Junker Queen and Mauga, but sadly, it’s restricted to players in China.
The original Loverwatch offered limited romance options with Genji and Mercy, plus a secret ending involving Hanzo as Cupid. In this new version, however, players can expect more choices, with D.Va taking the lead alongside Juno, Cassidy, Junker Queen, and more.
Fans outside of China are feeling left out, with one player expressing their dismay saying, “If [Junker Queen] killed me wearing that skin, I’d thank her.” This sentiment echoes among fans who worry they might miss out on exclusive skins as well.
In response to the event’s restricted availability, community voices are rising on platforms like Reddit, expressing concerns about unfair access to new content. The overwhelming desire for inclusivity in such events raises questions about future global accessibility.
Despite the restrictions, there’s hope for the reopening of the Loverwatch event beyond China, especially with the counting down to the next Valentine’s Day. Stay tuned for potential updates.
