Overwatch Debuts on Nintendo Switch 2 Tomorrow with Season 2: Reign of Talon
Season One of Overwatch 2 was a breath of fresh air, bringing in record numbers of players and pulling me back into the fold. With renewed momentum and a revitalised community, Season Two is set to build on that success. Even better, Nintendo fans have something extra to celebrate as the game officially launches on Nintendo Switch 2. Whether you are returning to the battlefield or jumping in for the first time, there is plenty to look forward to when the new season goes live.
Reign of Talon: Summit Launch Details
Season 2, titled Reign of Talon: Summit, launches tomorrow with a host of new content, gameplay updates, and cosmetic additions.
Season Launch Information
Start Date: Wednesday, 15 April

Sierra – New DPS Hero
Meet Sierra, the newest Damage hero to join the roster. Resilient and highly skilled, she enters the battlefield equipped with a rifle and her combat drone, Dorothy. Sierra introduces dynamic gameplay mechanics alongside a compelling backstory tied to the Soldier Enhancement Program.
Operation: Grand Mesa Event
Sierra’s debut is accompanied by Operation: Grand Mesa, a dedicated three-week event set in the aftermath of her stand against Talon. Rather than simply presenting her story, this event allows players to experience and earn it, offering deeper insight into Sierra’s motivations and the significance of the Grand Mesa location.
