The most notable update among the changes announced on the day is Perk, a new hero-specific bonus system that will be introduced in the 15th season, which will begin on the 19th. The perks allow you to apply various upgrades to your hero equipment to select different strategies and skills during the game. You can level up the hero twice during the game, and in the first level up, you can choose between a small lasting effect or a reduction in cool time, and the second level up allows you to choose the main perks to make a big difference in gameplay and redefine the hero's abilities. This is one of the most significant innovations since 2016 when 'Overwatch' first launched, Blizzard said.
In addition, information on the 2025 competition season, which will begin with the 15th season, was also released. This season, along with the initialization of the rank, new rival galactic weapon skins, weapon decorations and player portraits that give it star power will also be added, giving it a chance to show off its skills both inside and outside the game. You can also enjoy the new 6-to-6 competition and the most notorious and memorable time in the history of the game: 'Overwatch Classic: GOATS' (Overwatch Classic: GOATS).
In addition, a new collaboration with Le Seraphim, which was first introduced in 2023 in 15 seasons, will come. More detailed information about the Leceraphim collaboration will continue to be released at a later date.
In the 16th season, which will begin in April, the stadium, the largest single mode in the history of 'Overwatch', will be added, allowing the hero's ability to be customized and changed every round. You can play any way you want, setting up a more strategic battle than any hero ever released. The stadium can also be played from a new third-person perspective, Blizzard emphasized, providing a more dynamic gaming experience.
Also joining the 'Overwatch 2' hero roster is a new hero dealing with destructive crossbows and unique techniques. Freya is a hero who requires sophistication and precision.
In addition, the loot box shown in 'Overwatch 1' reemerges. Loot boxes can be earned as weekly and event rewards, and up to one more Legendary Loot Box with a free battle pass and up to two more Legendary Loot Box with a Premium battle pass.
In addition, it will introduce a no hero system for competitions from the 16th season, and a new battlefield voting system will be introduced within this year, giving its team the power to decide where to win the battle. Through this, it is expected to be able to add to the positioning of a new strategy.
