Overwatch Season 4 launched August 11 with D.Mon, a flexible Battle Pass, the Shooting Star: My MEKA Mania event, refreshed maps, and clearer combat feedback.
Is now a good time to return?
Yes for Tank players and seasonal collectors, though the MEKA event has ended and Blizzard has announced Season 5 for October 6. Read the post-launch patch notes if queue health, D.Mon’s balance, or competitive stability matters more than the new content.
What should you check first?
Start with D.Mon’s current kit, the Battle Pass reward path, and how much time Season 4 has left. Then revisit Busan, Paraíso, and Eichenwalde routes before trusting an old chokepoint routine.
