Blizzard Entertainment recently patched its closed beta of Overwatch to include a bevy of new features, including Weekly Brawls. Much like Hearthstone’s Tavern Brawl, Weekly Brawls bring custom games with intriguing modifiers.

Thanks to datamining, we now have some kind of hint as to what those modes could be. Keep in mind that these aren’t final and could very well change on the way to Overwatch’s release.

As per Overpwn, the Brawls include: Mystery Heroes (dying spawns you as a random hero), We’re All Soldiers Now (all heroes are apparently Soldier: 76 on Control Maps), Show Your Support (Support heroes only and two of the same hero per team), Head’s Up (can only score headshots with Widowmaker, Genji, Hanzo and McCree), Girl Power (female heroes only) and much more.

Overwatch is out on May 24th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC with an open beta announced for May 3rd. What are your thoughts on the Weekly Brawls? Let us know in the comments.
