Season 5: A Grim Doctrine Launch Trailer | Overwatch Oct 08, 2026

Description

Something truly wicked is being unleashed during Season 5: A Grim Doctrine.

The wait is over! Our newest Support Hero is here with the arrival of Doctrine. Freed from his volcanic prison by Doomfist himself, this sinister foe can manipulate life using his Eternal Scepter and mechanical drones, while also empowering each ability with his signature Infuse.

Break into Watchpoint: Grímsvötn - the Icelandic prison that once held Doctrine and Doomfist, and our first new Escort Map since Overwatch 2 launched. Battle your way through fire and ice as the final chapter in the Reign of Talon starts right here.

The Halloween mayhem continues this year with our newest event, Mystery Madness: Graveyard Games. You’ll start off as a random Hero and unlock random new powers each time you die. Complete chilling challenges to collect Offerings and help summon the next Hero into the madness.

Unlock haunting new cosmetics through the Season 5 Ultimate Battle Pass, Starter Pack, and in the Shop like Dokiwatch 2.0, our latest collaboration, and new Mythic skin for Wuyang and Mythic weapon skin for Lúcio.

If you thought you knew Sombra and Roadhog before, get ready to think again. Sombra is hacking her way into the Support role, while Roadhog changes things up with a revamped Scrap Gun and all-new Trash Compactor ability.

And that's just the beginning! Look out for Drives coming to Quick Play, Unvaulted Battle Passes, and so much more all season long.

Sink your teeth in when Season 5: A Grim Doctrine launches in-game TOMORROW at 11am PT.

Overwatch is free to play on PC and console, including Nintendo Switch™ 2!
