Blizzard has recently been experimenting with a 6v6 format similar to the original Overwatch (and even introduced a limited-time Overwatch Classic playlist), after the sequel shifted to 5v5 matches. It’s unclear if a return to 6v6 will be part of the “groundbreaking” changes Blizzard is teasing but it seems like a possibility.

Overwatch 2’s latest season introduced Hazard, a new tank hero. Season 14 additionally introduced the game’s latest crossover, transforming Overwatch heroes into characters from Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

The announcement of major changes coming to Overwatch 2 come after the hugely successful launch of Marvel Rivals, an extremely Overwatch-esque hero shooter featuring Marvel Comics characters, in December 2024. Marvel Rivals, which is free-to-play and available on PC and consoles, reached 20 million players in under two weeks. It’s also regularly in the top five most-played games and top-earning games on Steam.

Developer NetEase has promised to add at least two new playable characters to Marvel Rivals during every three-month season, with its first season introducing four–Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, and Human Torch. Overwatch 2, for comparison, received three new heroes in 2024. In addition to introducing new heroes, Marvel Rivals Season 1 also brought sweeping balance changes and a look at the most-picked heroes and villains currently available.
