Chinese Overwatch 2 players now have access to a new Loverwatch event, and fans are expressing strong enthusiasm for its gameplay features

Remember Overwatch’s quirky 2023 Valentine’s Day experiment? The original game surprised fans with Loverwatch: Love Never Dies, a browser-based dating sim where players could court Mercy or Genji and unlock rewards like a Cupid-themed Hanzo skin. Fast-forward to 2025, and this offbeat concept has resurfaced—with a twist.

This time, the romantic chaos is exclusive to the Chinese version of Overwatch 2. As showcased in a viral Reddit thread, the event features jaw-dropping attire for fan-favorite heroes: a suave Cassidy, Genji in an intricate kimono, a rakish Lifeweaver ensemble, and a showstopping Junker Queen outfit that’s ignited the community’s passions. While these appear to be part of another text-based dating mini-game rather than actual in-game skins, players are already clamoring for Blizzard to convert these designs into usable cosmetics—Junker Queen’s look, in particular, has fans in a frenzy.

Despite the fervor, Blizzard’s current focus remains on Season 17 updates and maintaining player communication. But if the roaring response to this China-only event is any indicator, developers might want to glance at the tsunami of thirsty comments flooding forums. After all, when Junker Queen stans start sharpening their virtual pitchforks, it’s hard to look away.
