What’s changing in the Overwatch 2 season 2 patch notes?
The official list of Overwatch 2 season 2 patch notes is yet to be revealed, but plenty is known about what’s being added to the game and what’s being changed. This includes the addition of the new hero Ramattra.
Ramattra is a new Tank hero and the first of its class that can change forms on the fly. You’ll be able to unlock Ramattra either right away via purchasing the premium battle pass or for free by levelling up the basic battle pass to tier 55.
Ramattra isn’t all that’s new as part of season 2, however. A new Escort map, Shambali Monastery, is coming to the game, showing us where heroes Ramattra and Zenyatta once lived. Fan-favourite map Rialto will be joining the map pool, too.
As stated above, there will be plenty of balance adjustments made in the game. Doomfist, for example, will be receiving big changes that, according to the official Overwatch website, “better support his role as the team’s front line, while still maintaining the playstyle core to his hero identity”. Adjustments to “Ana, Bastion, Junker Queen, Kiriko, Mercy, and Symmetra” will also be made as part of the season 2 update.
Expect to see plenty made of the season’s Greek mythology theme, too, with the new Battle for Olympus game mode. This is set to be a limited-time mode that will begin on “January 5 and last until January 19”. Expect more in the form of seasonal events and Twitch drops, too, in what’s set to be a bumper new season in Overwatch 2.
