Nexon updates Overwatch with Stellar Blade collaboration

Nexon has launched the Season 5 mid-season update for Overwatch, titled ‘Dark Creed’. The update concludes the year-long Talon power struggle storyline, ‘Reign’, through webtoons and motion comics. In this narrative, former leader Doomfist, supported by the new hero Doctrine, confronts Vendetta to end their reign.

A major feature of the update is the ‘Overwatch x EVE Protocol’ collaboration with Shift Up’s Stellar Blade. This marks the second collaboration with a South Korean gaming IP. The event introduces five character skins: EVE for Widowmaker, Lily 03 for D. Va, Tachy for Vendetta, Adam for Soldier: 76, and Raven for Freya. This collaboration is scheduled to run until November 17.

Additional content includes a new Premium Event Pass and the ‘Tiger Hunter Chase’ event, which runs until November 25. Players can earn rewards such as the ‘Tiger Hunter (Ashe)’ skin and traditional Korean-themed profile cards. On the competitive front, the OWCS Korea Playoffs are scheduled for early December, with top teams advancing to the Asia Stage 3 and potentially the OWCS World Finals.
