Conquest marks a new narrative era in Overwatch with the faction war

The story takes a decisive turn. Season 1: Conquest marks the beginning of the Reign of Talon, Overwatch’s massive new narrative arc, arriving with unprecedented ambition in both lore and gameplay. For the first time in the game's history, five new Heroes are joining the roster simultaneously, shifting the battlefield’s balance from day one.

Jet Pack Cat, Anran, Domina, Emre, and Mizuki arrive with distinct playstyles, fresh synergies, and unique personalities, significantly expanding strategic possibilities. Their debut is far from incidental: each plays a key role in a season committed to "living narrative" and the direct impact of player choices.

The core of Conquest is a five-week faction war where Overwatch and Talon collide head-on. Here, you don't just pick a side—your gameplay shapes the story. Completing missions, uncovering new lore, and unlocking exclusive cosmetics reinforces your loyalty, though the option to switch sides and experience the conflict from the opposing point of view remains open.

The season is rounded out with Competitive Mode updates, the arrival of Vendetta in Stadium mode, evolving gameplay mechanics, and a massive drop of new cosmetics. This season doesn’t just add content; it redefines how stories are told within the game.

With Season 1: Conquest, Overwatch sets a new standard for playable narrative, merging progression, choices, and global conflict. This time, it’s not just about winning matches—it’s about deciding which side of history you want to write.
