All expected changes coming in Overwatch 2 Season 12

Season 12 of Overwatch 2 is set to be a revolutionary update. With the implementation of 6v6, players are set to experience the OG game mode once again with the latest season.

Furthermore, we will see the debut of the title's very first Space Ranger, Juno, who possesses a unique set of Supportive abilities. This Hero, we believe, would be a great complementary addition to the main supports in the game, allowing players to experiment with unique flex-style gameplay.

We also have two new maps joining the pool, and a brand-new game mode, Clash. These will be part of the Competitive queue immediately upon the season's release.
