Blizzard Entertainment recently unveiled major changes to Overwatch 2 during a Spotlight event. The highlights include a new Perks system designed to enhance gameplay by allowing players to unlock and choose upgrades as they progress in matches. Lead gameplay designer Alec Dawson emphasized that this system represents a significant innovation since the game's launch. Additionally, a new game mode called Stadium will be introduced, along with two new heroes confirmed for 2025. Visual and cosmetic enhancements are also in development.
Perks will let players alter their play style and adapt to situations. As players progress through a match, a new meter will build.
Perks are 'the most significant innovation to core gameplay since Overwatch launched in 2016,' according to lead gameplay designer Alec Dawson.
New core game mode Stadium will build on gameplay-changing abilities, reflecting innovations seen in previous limited-time game modes.
Minor perks include gameplay alterations like cooldown reductions, while major perks are 'gameplay-shifting additions to your hero's kit.'
