Valentines day can be a sore spot for some, so why not enjoy a spot of dating and violence within Overwatch 2.
The Ultimate Valentine event kicks off on Valentine’s Day this year with a Hanzo 4v4 Limited Time Mode and a range of Support-themed challenges that can net you two earnable epic skins, among other rewards. In a surprising twist, you can also dip your lonely hands into the Loverwatch Dating Simulator.
Loverwatch is a non-canon text-based dating sim where players will choose between two potential dating paths: Mercy or Genji. Players will be presented with dialogue options to interact with that hero and will be assisted by Cupid (who looks suspiciously like Hanzo). Unlock the secret ending, and you’ll be rewarded with a themed POTG Highlight!
Once live, Loverwatch will be accessible online at https://www.Loverwatch.gg. It’s noted that the experience will launch on February 13 and remain playable until February 28, with Korean, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, and English language options. A full playthrough is expected to last 30 minutes.
As far as tie-ins go, it’s a curious one – but also sounds like a ton of silly fun. My favourite take away from this is that people are going to be producing guides for those of us who are hungry for that secret ending, so ready your gamer reflexes for the true challenge – dating a cyborg ninja correctly.
