Season 2 will make its highly anticipated premiere on December 6. Along with their new hero Ramattra, the game will undergo a lot of adjustments. The content update will include a new hero, map, Battle Pass, cosmetics, and other features.

The most recent Overwatch 2 Season 2 trailer and a brand new blog post from Blizzard both contained this information. Alongside previous favorites, the game's regular rotation will include the tank hero Ramattra and the Shambali Monastry map.

Since the developers revealed the new map Shambali Monastery, which will be included in the game in the forthcoming season, fans have been impatiently waiting for more information.

During the Omnic Crisis, Shambali founded the Monastery deep within the Himalayas. According to the game's backstory, it is Zenyatta and Ramattra's home. The latter was the Omnic extremist organization Null Sector's leader. These Omnics appear to have taken refuge beneath the Monastery walls.

The matches on the map appear to take place at night, with fire lamps lighting up various regions and environs, making the map visually appealing. Shambali Monastery will be available in Escort Mode.

Additionally, Overwatch 2 Season 2 will see the return of Blizzard World, the most epic place on earth, and the fan-favorite map, Rialto.

Rialto is an Escort map that takes place primarily in three places: the Grand Hotel and Courtyard, the Rialto Bridge and Dock, and the Talon Headquarters. It shows exactly where tourists may enjoy some local cuisine, take a leisurely gondola ride, visit the Galleria D'arte Omnica, or simply stroll alongside the canal to take it all in.

Blizzard World is an epic park that is styled after the worlds created by Blizzard Entertainment and is constructed in Irvine, California. It has a hyperloop line connection. Recently, the weather forced the closure of some of its rides. It is available in the Payload Mode and starts off in the Warcraft staging area.

Maps Oasis and Nepal will also be accessible in the next season. Hollywood and Watchpoint: Gibraltar will alternately be taken out of the existing map pool. Fans will still be able to enjoy the off-rotation maps in custom games.
