El muy esperado regreso de Overwatch 2 a China está programado para el 19 de febrero, luego de un paréntesis de dos años. Una prueba técnica precederá al lanzamiento, comenzando el 8 de enero y en funcionamiento hasta el 15. Esto marca el final de una larga espera para los jugadores chinos, que se perdieron 12 temporadas de contenido.
La ausencia del juego surgió del vencimiento del contrato de Blizzard con NetEase en enero de 2023. Sin embargo, una asociación renovada en abril de 2024 allanó el camino para el regreso del juego. La prueba técnica permitirá a los jugadores experimentar a los 42 héroes, incluidas las nuevas incorporaciones y el modo clásico 6v6.
El regreso se destaca aún más por el anuncio de la Serie de Campeonato Overwatch en 2025, con una región de China dedicada. El evento en vivo inaugural se llevará a cabo en Hangzhou, lo que significa un regreso triunfal al mercado chino.
Los jugadores chinos tendrán una cantidad significativa de ponerse al día, habiendo perdido a seis nuevos héroes (Lifeweaver, Illari, Mauga, Venture, Juno y Hazard), nuevos modos de juego (Flashpoint y Choque), Mapas (Peninsula Antártica, Samoa, y Runasapi), misiones de historia (invasión) y numerosos héroes reelaborados y cambios de equilibrio.
Si bien el evento de Año Nuevo Lunar 2025 puede concluir poco antes del relanzamiento del juego, Blizzard podría considerar un evento de seguimiento para garantizar que los jugadores chinos puedan disfrutar plenamente de las festividades dentro del juego. El regreso de Overwatch 2 a China promete una experiencia renovada y emocionante para su base de fanáticos dedicados.
“Sword of Convallaria x Delicious in Dungeon” crossover has officially launched with an exciting month-long event that brings together fans of both beloved franchises in a thrilling fusion of fantasy, dungeon delving, and mythical swordplay.
Set in the lush, magical world of Sword of Convallaria, where ancient blades hold the power to shape fate and rival kingdoms vie for the legendary Sword of the Dawn, the crossover event introduces beloved characters from Delicious in Dungeon—the intrepid adventurers Laios, Byleth, and the rest of the party—transported into the very realm of the legendary sword.
Key Highlights of the Month-Long Event:
New Story Arcs: Players experience original story chapters where Laios and his companions find themselves trapped in a magical dungeon beneath Convallaria’s royal citadel, where the very walls whisper with forgotten lore and the food itself holds magical properties—just like in Delicious in Dungeon. Their goal? To uncover the truth behind a cursed sword said to be the key to restoring peace.
Shared Boss Fights: Fans can battle iconic enemies reimagined through the lens of both series, including a monstrous "Cuisine Wyrm" that combines the terrifying elegance of a dungeon boss with the absurd-yet-delicious twist of a monster made entirely of enchanted pastries.
Crossover Foodcraft System: Inspired by Delicious in Dungeon’s legendary cooking mechanics, players can now craft magical meals using ingredients from Convallaria’s enchanted forests and underground caverns. These dishes restore HP, boost elemental resistance, and even unlock secret abilities—some bearing the names of classic Delicious in Dungeon recipes like "Crimson Rose Sausage" and "Dragon’s Breath Curry."
Limited-Time Characters: Special summonable units include:
Laios (Hero of the Hearth) – A new character with passive abilities that boost party morale and cooking effectiveness.
Byleth the Scholar – A magical tactician who can analyze enemy weaknesses and apply culinary insights to weaken foes.
Sword of Dawn (Legendary Form) – A transformed version of the iconic blade, now infused with the spirit of a legendary cook, granting unique elemental buffs.
Daily Quests & Events:
“Feast of the Forgotten King” – A daily cooking challenge with a rotating menu of mythical ingredients.
“Dungeon of the Tasting Court” – A timed dungeon raid where players must solve puzzles using both combat and recipe knowledge.
“Battle of the Tasting Plates” – A PvP mode where players battle not with swords alone, but with their signature dishes.
Exclusive Merch & Digital Rewards: Completing event milestones unlocks digital artbooks, animated character skins, and limited-edition recipe cards featuring real-life cooking tips from the Delicious in Dungeon cookbook team.
Developer Statement:
“We’re thrilled to unite two of the most imaginative worlds in gaming and anime. Sword of Convallaria brings epic swordplay and ancient magic, while Delicious in Dungeon brings heart, humor, and a love for the simple joy of a perfectly cooked meal. Together, they create something truly delicious—on every level,” said project lead Naoki Tanaka.
The crossover event runs from June 1st to June 30th, with new daily missions, rewards, and community challenges released throughout the month. Whether you’re a sword-swinging warrior or a dungeon-dining gourmet, there’s something deliciously epic waiting in the depths.
