Overwatch 2’s first event of Season 3, Ultimate Valentine, has arrived, bringing some new cosmetics, challenges, and game modes to the hero shooter. The event is themed around love, with the main new addition being a Cupid Hanzo skin, equipping the archer with pink arrows. There is also a new browser game, Loverwatch, which is a short dating sim where you can try and romance either Mercy or Genji. Here’s everything you need to know about Overwatch 2’s Ultimate Valentine event.
Love of Geometry
The Love of Geometry arcade mode is a twist on Team Deathmatch. Two teams of four Cupid Hanzos are pitted against each other in a battle to the death. Hanzo’s ultimate ability will have a bit of extra visual flair in this mode, but the big draw is the return of Hanzo’s old ability, Scatter Arrow. Scatter Arrow lets Hanzo ricochet arrows off any surface, making for some interesting trick shots and a deadly close range ability. While this ability isn’t likely to return to regular Overwatch 2 anytime soon, it does let new players see what Hanzo used to be like.
In addition to that, there are a ton of free cosmetic rewards available through event challenges, many of which can be completed in regular game modes. The big reward here is two epic skins, the Ascendant Zenyatta skin and the Bitrate Lucio skin.
