Overwatch 2 Season 3: Loverwatch Dating Sim Explained
Unlike other Valentine’s Day events, Loverwatch Dating Sim is a complete web browser-based experience. It sees players engaging in a text-based adventure game, where you can either romance Mercy or Genji, depending on your preference.
Hanzo, in a cupid form, will guide you along the way as you choose between various dialogue choices in an attempt to successfully seduce either character. It’s a unique concept and one that is said to take roughly 30 minutes to complete.
There is even a secret ending to discover, and for those that do so, a unique Play of the Game highlight intro will be unlocked in Overwatch 2.
It’s been made clear by Blizzard that Loverwatch Dating Sim is in no way canon to Overwatch 2, so don’t worry, you running off into the sunset with Mercy isn’t going to change the trajectory of the game’s narrative.
Overwatch 2 Season 3: Loverwatch Dating Sim Release Date
Loverwatch Dating Sim is set to begin on February 13 and will run until February 28. For anyone that wishes to participate, simply visit the official Loverwatch Dating Sim website.
Overwatch 2 Season 3: Valentine’s Day Events
Alongside Loverwatch Dating Sim, Overwatch 2 will also be supporting numerous events in-game. For starters, a unique limited-time mode will see 4v4 players facing each other as Hanzo.
There will also be a set of Valentine’s Day-themed challenges to complete in order to unlock exclusive skins and other rewards to use in-game.
