During the first Overwatch 2 developer update of 2024, game director Aaron Keller outlined changes players could expect to see soon. New Overwatch 2 heroes will now be available for everyone, without being locked behind a Battle Pass or having to complete extensive challenges. Blizzard Entertainment is also planning on reworking some maps after Season 12.
Season 10 on the Horizon
Overwatch 2 is currently in Season 9, with Season 10 expected to kick off mid-April 2024. Keller also noted in the update that the Overwatch community is on track to cross 100 million players by next season.
Growth and Milestones
Previously, Blizzard Entertainment confirmed that Overwatch 2 crossed 25 million players just a few days after launch in October 2022. While the multiplayer side of Overwatch 2 has continually grown, the promised single-player mode was eventually canceled, with the developers instead opting to provide PvE (player vs. environment) co-op missions as part of the game’s live service moving forward.
Analysis: Welcoming Newcomers
A solid decision to welcome newcomers. While I doubt this move will mean much for regular players who are likely completing the challenges for the various heroes at a steady clip, this is certainly appealing for anyone that’s been thinking about playing but hasn’t hopped in yet, as well as players like me who enjoyed Overwatch 2 for a while but then took a long break for months at a time.
Looking Ahead
I’m looking forward to the next season of Overwatch 2, and I’m also curious to see just how the arrival of Venture shakes up the playing field of available heroes, especially since Venture will be available for everyone at launch.
