Blizzard is teasing significant changes to Overwatch 2’s gameplay in an upcoming Spotlight event. The game’s devs have promised “groundbreaking” changes that will be unlike anything players have seen before. This comes as Marvel Rivals continues to dominate the hero shooter genre, leaving some wondering if Overwatch 2 has lost its footing.
In a blog post titled “groundbreaking PvP gameplay changes coming,” Blizzard states that these major updates will take place in 2025 and include new heroes, maps, and content. The Overwatch 2 Spotlight event is scheduled for February 12 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT on YouTube and Twitch.
Blizzard has been experimenting with various features, including a return to 6v6 action and an Overwatch Classic mode. These changes aim to recapture the game’s original spirit and compete with other hero shooters like Marvel Rivals. The Spotlight event promises to reveal more about these updates, making it time for players to stop labeling Marvel Rivals as the “Overwatch 2 killer.”
