A community for a good cause

Overwatch 2 is celebrating a remarkable success: the community raised 12.3 million dollars for breast cancer research in collaboration with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). This sum was raised through the sale of the exclusive "Mercy in Pink" skin and other in-game offers. All proceeds from the campaign, minus platform fees and taxes, went directly to projects to prevent and cure breast cancer.

A similar campaign in 2018 already raised 12.7 million dollars. With this year's proceeds, the Overwatch community has contributed a total of over 25 million dollars to support life-saving research. The funds have financed innovative projects such as AI-supported diagnoses and new treatment methods.

Hazard: A rebellious hero steps up

In season 14, Hazard, a Scottish tank hero, joins the hero gallery. With his ability to build walls, he opens up new strategic possibilities in the game. These walls can be used both to protect the team and to hinder opponents. Hazard's design and abilities reflect his rebellious spirit, inspired by his faction, the Phreaks.
