According to the developers at Blizzard, we can expect some extraordinary modifications in Overwatch 2, unlike any previous changes, coming later this year.
It’s yet unclear what specific adjustments are in store, but Blizzard has scheduled a live broadcast on February 12, named Overwatch 2 Spotlight, to discuss all the upcoming changes. This event will also feature previews of new characters and battlefields that we can expect this year.

Multiple content creators for Overwatch 2 are given early access to experience the updates and fresh content. By tuning into partnered live streams, viewers can potentially receive the rare Lucio Cyber DJ Legendary skin as a Twitch reward.
Lately, Blizzard has been exploring a 6-versus-6 game format, much like the original Overwatch, and they’ve even added a temporary Overwatch Classic playlist. Since the sequel moved to 5-versus-5 matches, there’s speculation that they might revert back to 6v6 as part of the major changes Blizzard is hinting at, although it’s not certain yet.
In the most recent season of Overwatch 2, a brand-new tank character named Hazard was presented. Furthermore, the fourteenth season unveiled an exciting crossover event, where Overwatch heroes were reimagined as characters from the famous animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender by Nickelodeon.
Following the highly successful debut of Marvel Rivals, a hero shooter reminiscent of Overwatch but featuring Marvel Comics characters, in December 2024, significant updates for Overwatch 2 have been announced. In just under two weeks after its free-to-play release on PC and consoles, Marvel Rivals attracted 20 million players and has consistently ranked among the top five most-played and top-earning games on Steam.
NetEase Developer has pledged to include at least two fresh playable characters into Marvel Rivals for each three-month season, starting with four – Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, and Human Torch – in the inaugural season. To put it in perspective, Overwatch 2 unveiled three new characters in 2024. Besides adding new heroes, Marvel Rivals Season 1 also rolled out significant character balance adjustments and showcased the top-tier heroes and villains currently accessible.
