While we already know that Ramattra is making his way into Overwatch 2 on December 6, Blizzard has revealed a ton of details regarding the Overwatch 2 Season 2 plans as well. These include the new map incoming, the old maps returning, balance changes and more.
Overwatch 2 Season 2 Overview:
Release Date: December 6
Overwatch 2 Season 2 New Map:
In our new Escort map, Shambali Monastery, we’ll ascend the winding path walked by countless Omnics who have sought refuge within its walls. Transcend your opponents in a battle for mastery over the one-time home of Zenyatta and Ramattra.
Upcoming Overwatch 2 Balance Changes:
Blizzard has noted that Sojourn has been dominating the highest tiers of Competitive ranks, and as such, the character will get a tweak starting with her Rail Gun and how it deals damage over distance in Season 2. Another character seeing a change will be Doomfist, with Blizzard saying that the thank will be getting “significant changes” that better support his role.
Returning Maps:
Alongside the new map Shambali Monastery, some fan-fave maps will be making a return too! Players can expect Rialto, Blizzard World, Oasis and Nepal to be making their way out. With the old maps being cycled back in, Hollywood and Watchpoint: Gibraltar will be off the rotation.
Seasonal Events:
Winter Wonderland and the Lunar New Year events are coming back, as to be expected. These events will come with improved rewards, with players now able to earn skins just by completing challenges. Some of the Epic skins incoming are Ice Queen Brigitte, Legendary Winged Victory Mercy, and Legendary Kkachi Echo.
OW2 Season 2 Theme:
Greek mythology and Battle for Olympus
For Season 2, our theme is the stuff of gods and legends: Greek Mythology! Our second season features an all-new Mythic skin: Zeus Junker Queen, as the pinnacle reward on the Premium Battle Pass. Her skin will include new customizations, weapon models, voice lines, and special effects. Bask in the glory of her fellow gods by earning Legendary Poseidon Ramattra and Legendary Hades Pharah, all by progressing through the premium battle pass.
These heroes and several others will be imbued with awesome god-like powers in our new Battle for Olympus game mode. This new limited-time event will start on January 5 and last until January 19. Keep an eye on the skins appearing this season. They may give you a clue as to what’s to come during the Battle for Olympus!
Finally, Blizzard has also shared that there will be new challenges in Overwatch 2 Season 2 that will give players a way to earn new heroes they have not yet unlocked.
