Overwatch 2 Season 2 is just about to get started and in anticipation, Blizzard has revealed its upcoming content lineup.
As promised, a new Tank Hero map, 30+ skins, Battle Pass and a Mythic skin are set to headline the new Season 2 offerings. Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know about the Season 2 content in Overwatch 2.
The biggest addition in Overwatch 2 Season 2 will be Ramattra, the game's latest Hero. Ramattra is said to be the first Tank that can completely change forms as part of his core kit, altering his abilities and playstyle from moment to moment.
The new map coming in Season 2 will be Shambali Monastery, which will host Escort matches and is said to be the one-time home of Zenyatta and Ramattra.
For those seeking further Hero balance changes, Blizzard pinpointed two characters that will be receiving updates intended to bring them "more in line with competitive balance for the rest of the roster": Sojourn and Doomfist.
"To address the high-skill feedback," Blizzard's blog post reads, "we’ll be focusing on the lethality of her Rail Gun at distance for Season 2, encouraging players to make use of Sojourn’s high mobility to close the distance for the more devastating right-clicks.
"Doomfist is receiving significant changes that better support his role as the team’s front line, while still maintaining the playstyle core to his Hero identity."
Additionally, Ana, Bastion, Junker Queen, Kiriko, Mercy and Symmetra are said to also be receiving changes at the start of the new season.
In Season 2, OG Overwatch favorites Rialto and Blizzard World will be making their returns, while Oasis and Nepal will be receiving time-of-day changes. Hollywood and Watchpoint: Gibraltar will be rotated out and will continue to be available in custom games.
The Season 2 theme is said to be Greek Mythology. As such, the all-new Mythic skin will be Zeus Junker Queen, which will include new customizations, weapon models, voice lines and special effects. Legendary Poseidon Ramattra and Legendary Hades Pharah skins are set to round out the Season 2 Battle Pass lineup.
Coming in Season 2 as well will be the Battle for Olympus event and its LTM from Jan. 5 to Jan. 19. Meanwhile, the Winter Wonderland event (Dec. 13-Jan. 4) and Lunar New Year event (Jan. 17-Feb. 1) are set to return with "new and improved" rewards. Each of the three events this season will have a skin as a reward that players can earn simply by completing challenges — Epic Ice Queen Brigitte, Legendary Winged Victory Mercy and Legendary Kkachi Echo.
Lastly, Blizzard hinted that more Twitch Drops will be coming during Season 2, including a Legendary Ramattra skin reward.
Overwatch 2 Season 2 is set to launch worldwide on Dec. 6, 2022.
