Overwatch 2 Prepares for Season 17 with Updates, Mythics, and More

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super pumped about what Blizzard’s cooking up for Overwatch 2 Season 17! They’re rolling out fresh content, reintroducing fan-favorites, and a brand-new Battle Pass that I can’t wait to dive into. In their latest Weekly Recall, the dev team gave us a sneak peek at what’s in store for the upcoming season and future updates. Can’t wait to jump back in!

Dual Mythics and Battle Pass

For the very first time in Overwatch’s history, two exceptional Mythic skins are set to debut simultaneously on launch day. These premium cosmetics can be earned through the Season 17 Battle Pass, allowing players the freedom to select which Mythic skin they wish to unlock first. This change aims to provide a more diverse and flexible progression experience.

Stadium Mode Evolves

In the upcoming updates for the Stadium, our PvP mode with rounds, you can anticipate adjustments for balance, fresh map selections, and a more structured competitive environment. Blizzard aims to enhance Stadium’s dynamism without altering its fundamental structure.

Map Voting Returns

In the upcoming Season 17, players are given the opportunity to influence the choice of maps used in their games once more. This decision stems from player suggestions and is intended to enhance the matching process and overall player experience.

Hero Balance and Role Passives

In simpler terms, Blizzard is adjusting the power level of characters (Heroes) and revising Role-specific abilities known as Passives. Each role – Damage, Tank, and Support – will offer distinct advantages during gameplay. The aim is to foster stronger team dynamics and minimize issues in solo queue play.

Looking Ahead

Developers have given suggestions about future plans for Overwatch 2, which include regular events and enhanced player incentives. They’re also committed to addressing community feedback more swiftly, as outlined in their strategic plan.

Get ready—Season 17 kicks off soon, and Blizzard is promising one of the most engaging updates yet.
