The community now has a better idea of which heroes will be rebalanced in Season 2. As per Blizzard Entertainment, the new Season will bring a new Hero, a new map, a new Battle Pass, and more to the game. The community cannot wait for its launch on December 6.
With the start of Season 2, maps will rotate from the game's immense map pool. This will bring back some old favorites like Rialto, Oasis, and Nepal. In the trailer for the new season, one can see some of what's in store for Overwatch 2 Season 2.
Doomfist is near the top of the developer's rebalance list as Blizzard is not happy with his frontline performance. Sojourn is a newcomer who has been dominating in competitive mode. Her railgun will be nerfed to encourage players to get closer in for combat.
Ana, Bastion, Symmetra, Kiriko, Mercy, and Junker Queen will also be tweaked as per a Blizzard blog post. These changes come just a few weeks after the last round of Hero balance changes.
The game will receive a time-limited Battle For Olympus mode from January 5 to January 19. Plenty of Olympian-themed skins, including the Mythic Zeus Junker Queen and Poseidon Ramattra, are also on their way to Season 2's Premium Battle Pass.
The Winter Wonderland event will also take place in-game between December 13 and January 4. Players who missed out on Season 1's hero, Kiriko, due to the Battle Pass grind will have another chance thanks to new challenges that have been introduced during the new season.
Blizzard is looking to make some incremental changes for the new season as the Overwatch community wasn't happy with how the developers handled the bug-ridden first season.
