Overwatch 2 will reintroduce loot boxes two years after their removal
Blizzard has announced that 2025 will be one of the most significant years in the history of Overwatch 2 and among the details of Season 15, it revealed that the game will return to the game with the return of loot boxes.
Blizzard removed the loot boxes from Overwatch 2 during its release in October 2022, switching to a system of season passes without random rewards. However, the element of randomness is now back.
With the start of Overwatch 2 Season 15, players will once again be able to purchase and open loot boxes. This time, however, they will immediately receive a warning about the likelihood of obtaining items of varying rarity.
| Lootboxes | Legendary loot boxes |
| Legendary - 5,10% | Legendary - 100% |
| Epic - 21,93% | Epic - 21,93% |
| Rare - 96,26% | Rare - 96,26% |
| Common - 97,97% | Common - 97,97% |
Overwatch 2 loot boxes can be obtained by completing weekly tasks or participating in events. In addition, one legendary loot box will be provided with a free season pass, and two more with a premium pass.
Blizzard also promises that Rare items will drop in every loot box, Epic items are guaranteed to drop in every fifth, and Legendary items in every twentieth.
Other changes that are coming to Overwatch 2 can be found on the official website. The announced novelties include the heroine Freya, a new Stadium mode, which will be the largest in the game, as well as Perks for characters that will allow them to receive new improvements.
