Blizzard Entertainment is gearing up to launch Season 9 of Overwatch 2, titled Champions, on February 13th. Anticipation is building as a preview trailer is expected to drop on February 7th, hinting at potential revisions in the Competitive Play format.
The upcoming season introduces improvements, including modifying the passive abilities of Tanks and Damage heroes. This tweak allows these classes to regain health slowly, a feature previously exclusive to Support heroes. This shift aims to reduce the reliance on Supports and promote a more autonomous playstyle.
The impact of these changes, especially on stealth-oriented characters like Genji and Tracer, will be closely watched. Details on the specifics of Season 9 will be revealed soon.
Overwatch 2 is available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC.
