Attention, Overwatch 2 fans! It seems like there’s been a slight change of plans regarding the start of Season 10, so let’s dive into the details.

Originally slated to kick off on April 7, Overwatch 2 Season 10 now appears to be delayed, with the new projected start date set for April 16. While this delay may come as a surprise, it offers players an extra week to prepare for the arrival of Venture, the highly anticipated 40th hero in Overwatch 2.

The shift in the Season 10 start date was not formally announced by Overwatch 2 developers but was noticed by keen-eyed players who observed changes in the in-game Battle Pass interface. With each season typically lasting around eight weeks, the extension of Season 9 suggests that Season 10’s arrival will be postponed by a week.

Venture, the upcoming DPS hero and the first nonbinary character in Overwatch 2, was expected to debut alongside Season 10. Additionally, players can look forward to experimenting with the small rework given to Wrecking Ball in this upcoming season, offering exciting new gameplay dynamics.

While the delay may be disappointing for some, there’s a silver lining. Players now have extra time to progress through Season 9’s Battle Pass, unlocking eldritch horror-themed cosmetics and the coveted Mythic Ancient Caller Moira skin. Plus, ongoing in-game events like Hero Mastery: Gauntlet and the collaboration with Cowboy Bebop provide ample opportunities to earn Battle Pass experience and engage in thrilling challenges.

So, while we await the arrival of Overwatch 2 Season 10 and the introduction of Venture, let’s make the most of this extra time to conquer Season 9’s challenges and gear up for an epic new chapter in the Overwatch 2 universe!
