Overwatch ruled in the undisputed master of heroic shooters for many years. Many tried to rub the Blizzard FPS in vain. It was not until the end of 2024 with the arrival of Marvel competitor to face serious competition. The free play of Netase clearly has a brilliant future in front of it, but the American publisher did not intend to remain entangled for a very long time.
It is time for changes for Overwatch 2. For many years, Blizzard and his teams have checked the heart of the gameplay, probably a little too much. A 5V5 passage, some new game modes, others canceled. In almost ten years, big developments are counted on the fingers of the hand, and now that the competition is harder, the game has to change, something cooler. The habits of the players are preparing to be very angry with the arrival of several great innovations. Blizzard placed us in the future of Overwatch 2 and 2025.
A great novelty for Overwatvch 2, the bonuses, the bonuses
On February 18, 2025, Overwatch 2 will therefore organize its fifteenth season and thus its greatest innovation so far: the bonuses. Improvements that are specific to every character allow the cards to be converted in relation to the strategy and that are our favorite heroes for a new turn. Orisa, which can swap her spear for a sign as in the right time, solves a community that turns on a medium attack. For example, if you are the type for Zenyatta or Moira, bonuses are clearly developed for you.
In fact, a new display is grafted under the lifeguard. As soon as it is complete, an advantage must be selected from two on each level (three maximum), since they are irreversible for the duration of the current part. The first two will be so -called smaller bonuses that enable Lucio to continue sending his opponents to Lucio, then you have to choose from two important bonuses, these more gamuchangers. For example, Ana can become more aggressive with advantages that make you a sniper that is able to keep too fatal if Torbjorn can install her tower on the walls. Yes, yes, you read the right. Enough to annoy the meta, but adapt its builds for situations to better counteract certain opponents.
Return of prey boxes and 6V6 in competition
Of the few matches we have tested, this novelty brings a new shell in Overwatch 2, even if it is necessary to put them more on the test to know what taste it will really have. We assure you that all of your habits will not change next week. “We didn't want bonuses that completely annoy the balance or suddenly have the impression of playing a little too far away from the hero that they know and already love” to the returns from the community, even if it means sometimes in certain ones Change seasons to spice up the gameplay a little.
Overzert 2 season 15 is also marked by the arrival of a new heroine from Denmark: Freya. An agile DPS that requires skill and precision because it struggles with a crossbow that is able to cause considerable damage, as in the middle. Its specialty: it can rise in the air and sideways in the usual places to re -position or avoid certain attacks and ultimate. It is enough to say that it is particularly reserved for the most talented community because it is particularly technical.
On the upcoming news side, it will also be necessary to count on the comeback of a mechanics that claims body and soul from the community. In the idea of rewarding players more, prey boxes will soon be back, with more transparency in relation to their content. You can get the free version of the Battle Pass, the weekly missions and much more. Up to half of the season, the 6V6 also has the right to its own competition version when Zenyatta is in the spotlight with a particularly pretty legendary skin.
The stadium mode, the real gamechinger for Overwatch 2?
This is for the most forced, because Overwatch 2 seems to be a roadmap that has already been followed. Season 16 will welcome what will be his most interesting novelty in my opinion: Stadium mode. This new game mode is probably parallel to the fast parts and competition. He is probably the new favorite of the community, and not just because he see the third person how many said this.
Concrete, two teams of 5 players compete in seven rounds, which are located in condensed versions of the three main modes (Clash, Push, Control). The first team arrived at 4 rounds won. The peculiarity is that the players have to choose a character of almost fifteen (at the beginning) from the start and have to hold on to it until the end of the game. In every round, all players earn money according to their actions and performance. In these parts, they have to be spent in a well -placed tree with which you can improve your hero if you keep suitable with liabilities and skills.
Kiriko can then create a clone, angels go to a complete DPS building that can be very, very bad or on the contrary to organize an ally of his choice himself, Reinhardt to change with his activated sign, etc. etc. The possibilities and situations that can cause this are numerous and in contrast to the bonuses, they clearly change the situation because they know that they can reset them with any round if they have to change their build to change the opponent to thwart. It very clearly brings a new taste in Overwatch 2 and it was a long time ago that I had fun in the game. personalize our heroes. I am looking forward to testing new buildings anyway, especially that Angel almost becomes a tank when we improve his defense and his life points to the maximum. There is an Arcade page that is accepted with an openly refreshing madness.
