You step into a new chapter of Overwatch as Season 1: Conquest launches a faction war between Overwatch and Talon. Each week, you choose your allegiance and take on missions tied directly to the ongoing story, with your actions contributing to the larger conflict.
This event asks you to commit to a side while you chase exclusive rewards and experience the narrative from both perspectives over time. Your weekly choices shape how you engage with the season, turning routine play into a structured struggle for control and influence.
Overwatch Conquest event
You take part in a five-week faction conflict that places Overwatch against Talon. Each week, you choose a side and commit to story-driven missions that reflect the ongoing narrative. Your actions contribute to your faction’s overall performance during the event.
Daily and weekly challenges keep your progress steady and competitive. Completing these tasks earns Reputation, a dedicated event currency tied to participation rather than rank. An in-game status display tracks which faction currently leads, so you can see how your efforts affect the wider outcome.
Rewards depend on collective success rather than individual totals. At the end of each week, the faction with stronger mission results receives the better payout. You can switch allegiances week to week, which allows you to experience both perspectives over the full event cycle.
