[GameSpot] - Overwatch 2's Valentine's Day Event, Loverwatch Dating Sim Are Now Live

[343iBot]

Overwatch 2 is going all-in on Valentine's this year, with a new game mode, a Cupid Hanzo skin, new challenges, and a standalone dating sim called Loverwatch, where players will be able to romance Mercy or Genji.

The new V-Day game mode is called Love of Geometry, and will pit two teams of four against each other, with every player as Hanzo in his Cupid skin. As if that wasn't chaotic enough, the Love of Geometry event will temporarily replace Hanzo's Storm Arrow with Scatter Arrow, a special arrow that can split and bounce off walls to deal widespread damage. The controversial ability was patched out of Hanzo's kit back in 2018, deemed too frustrating to players who found themselves in Scatter Arrow's erratic firing line. Blizzard has also teased a surprise for players who use Hanzo's Dragonstrike in Love of Geometry.

Loverwatch, Blizzard's official-but-not-canon dating sim is also live for a limited time to celebrate Valentine's day. The standalone browser game is surprisingly good, letting players romance either Mercy or Genji, with options to unlock rewards in the main game as well. Loverwatch even hints that Blizzard may have plans for a more in-depth Overwatch dating sim some time in the future.

Cupid Hanzo, who appears in both Loverwatch and Love of Geometry, is also available to purchase as a cosmetic bundle, which comes with the skin and highlight intro, as well as a charm, souvenir, and namecard.

The Valentine's event is time-limited, and will run until February 28--this includes the Loverwatch dating sim, so be sure to play through both scenarios now, while you still can.

I was too curious (maybe due to lots of free time)...is it real to find a girlfriend in Overwatch? Sorry for bumping, just my curiosity

Hey dude, don't worry about bumping, we all do it sometimes. Actually, anything is possible, but it might not be the best idea to go into a game looking for romance. However, if you're interested in smart women dating, there are plenty of online dating sites and apps out there that cater to that kind of thing. Just be careful and make sure to take things slow and get to know the person before jumping into anything. By the way, I'm new here too, so it's nice to meet you!
