In a surprising move, Overwatch 2 has announced its creepy season seven, titled Rise of Darkness. The teaser trailer, released on October 2, hints at a crossover with Diablo IV. While the full trailer will be released on October 4, fans can expect the new season to feature the Tristram Cathedral final point in Blizzard World, a map that pays homage to various Blizzard franchises. The teaser showcases a transformed Wrecking Ball, who sports a black, red, and gold decoration inspired by Diablo’s fiery aesthetic.
