With Season 2 just around the corner, let’s take a look at what the developments and new features we can expect in Overwatch 2!
In primo piano Ramattra, the new tank capable of changing shape during combat ensuring players who use it will enjoy great versatility on the battlefield.
The already rich selection of maps is now joined by Monastero Shambali, playable in Trasporto, once Ramattra and Zenyatta’s home and a refuge for many Omnic. On the map front, Hollywood e Osservatorio: Gibilterra will be removed from rotation, while the beloved Rialto e Blizzard World will return.
Listening to and monitoring player feedback, the developers will make changes to Sojourn, which is literally dominating the top ranks, and Doomfist, which "will receive significant changes to better support its role as the team’s frontline fighter".
Main characters Ana, Bastion, Regina dei Junker, Kiriko, Mercy e Symmetra, expect changes even for your favourite heroes.
We now move on to what will interest aesthetics enthusiasts most: the theme of the new Season is... Greek Mythology! Following the mythic model of Genshi, the highest reward for the next Battle Pass will be the mythic model Queen of Junker Zeus. Advancing through the Premium Pass will also allow you to obtain the legendary Ramattra Poseidon and the legendary Pharah Ade, along with, of course, numerous other rewards and customization items.
Still on the Olympic theme, between the 5 and 19 January, Overwatch 2 will host the special event Battaglia per l'Olimpo,, in which the heroes will be "infused with divine powers".
Soon the events of The Magical Winter and the Moon Celebration will return, with improved rewards. All future events will include a skin obtainable simply by logging in during the event period, including the epic Brigitte Ice Queen model, the legendary Mercy Winged Victory model, and the legendary Echo Kkachi model.
And don’t forget to check out your favourite streamer to get a legendary model for Ramattra and other Twitch Drops this season!
Finally, for newcomers, Blizzard has devised a new way to unlock heroes still not obtained. This will be possible through specific challenges for each hero, and, nonetheless, the option to purchase the desired hero via the game store remains.
This and much more is coming on the 6 December, when the Season 2 will begin on all platforms where Overwatch 2 is available.
