Season 6 of Overwatch is over. We reveal how Season 7 will continue here. Info on start date, end, and rewards.
Time relentlessly progresses for Blizzard’s hero shooter and nearly 18 months after the release, Season 6 has ended in Overwatch, and Season 7 is already on the starting blocks.
The time between Season 6 and Season 7 is very short this time. Instead of taking a break of several weeks, the “Off Season” lasts only a few days.
- This means that Season 7 of Overwatch will begin on November 1 at 2:00 AM.
Rewards for Overwatch Season 7
Since there were no major announcements about changes to the existing systems beforehand this time, it can be assumed that Season 7 will take place just like its predecessor.
This means that players will need to complete 10 placement matches starting November 1, which will determine their initial skill rating. The skill rating serves as an indicator for your rank, but it also forms the basis for matchmaking.
For participating in the ranked game mode, players earn Competitive Points, which can then be used to purchase golden weapons. These serve purely aesthetic purposes.
The distribution of Competitive Points (ranking points) at the end of Season 7 is as follows:
- 1-1499 Skillrating: 65 CP
- 1500-1999 Skillrating: 125 CP
- 2000-2499 Skillrating: 250 CP
- 2500-2999 Skillrating: 500 CP
- 3000-3499 Skillrating: 750 CP
- 3500-3999 Skillrating: 1250 CP
- 4000-5000 Skillrating: 1750 CP
Keep in mind that the Competitive Points you earn depend on your highest rating of the season and not on the skill rating at the end of the season.
As usual, there will likely be additional rewards for participating in Season 7, such as a display image and a spray logo. Once Blizzard presents the new designs, we will supplement them in this article.
If Blizzard does not make any further changes during the season, then Season 7 of Overwatch will likely last until the end of the year – exactly 2 months.
