Will Overwatch 2 release a 7v7 game mode?

While there's no official confirmation from the developers, the information mined by @spottier_f4k3 indicates that 7v7 could potentially be coming to the game soon.

In the game files and the build they accessed, the data miner reportedly found options for an experimental 7v7 playable game mode in the custom game mode settings, indicating that the working format has been embedded into the game's system.

With the 6v6 game mode being a major hit in the community, it would be healthy to see the developers potentially willing to push beyond the traditional FPS boundaries and experiment with a unique 14-player game mode. Considering the massive hero pool that OW2 has garnered since its release, it will be interesting to see how this mode turns out, if and when it surfaces.

The community has often pondered a potential 7v7 game mode being in the mix, and we believe that with proper balancing implemented, this game mode should be a success with the playerbase.
