On Sunday, Blizzard shared a message on Twitter confirming that Reaper’s Code of Violence Challenge will officially start on February 22. The Challenge will then remain available through March 7, a solid two weeks. Details regarding what the Challenge will entail, as well as its rewards, have yet to be announced. All Blizzard offered up was a short video showing off a pile of Reaper’s Hellfire Shotguns and some purple wisps of smoke.

The most recent Overwatch Challenge was delivered in November 2021 with Cassidy’s New Blood Challenge. To call it much of a Challenge, however, would be confusing the definition of the word. All Overwatch players had to do in order to earn rewards was play games and watch Twitch streams featuring Overwatch. Playing 27 games (with wins counting as two games) rewarded players with a Cassidy-themed player icon, spray, and Epic skin. Watching Overwatch for six hours on Twitch would reward six total chibi Overwatch sprays.

The Challenge prior to Cassidy’s was Ashe’s Deadlock Challenge. It too only required players to play so many games and to watch so many hours of Overwatch gameplay on Twitch to earn all its limited-availability rewards. Even the reward progression is identical to the Cassidy challenge.

While it would be exciting if Blizzard could make Reaper’s Code of Violence Challenge require some more in-depth gameplay, Overwatch players likely aren’t setting their expectations very high. As noted, Overwatch isn’t receiving much support in terms of material content right now. That there will be a range of new rewards for Reaper is more than many expected. At some point, Overwatch players just have to be content while they wait for Overwatch 2 to arrive.

Fans can expect Blizzard to share a proper trailer and a news article for Reaper’s Code of Violence Challenge in the next day that shows off what rewards will be available, including what should be a new Epic Reaper skin. It may not be the kind of exciting new content that Overwatch players are hungry for, but it’s at least something new and rewarding to help bridge the gap until the next in-game event.

Overwatch is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
