Overwatch 2 Season 17

The next season of Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch 2 begins on June 24th. It’s less content-packed than the previous one, but Season 17: Powered Up! promises several new features, including new heroes in Stadium. Check out the reveal trailer below.

The new Mythic skin is for D.Va, while Reaper gets a new Mythic Weapon Skin. New skins channelling the fictitious Overwatch Academy and 8-bit aesthetic will also be available (alongside a limited-time 8-bit mode). Esperança and Samoa will be available as new maps for Stadium, while Zenyatta, Sigma, and Junkrat are playable.

But best of all, you can finally save and share builds with the new Stadium Forge tools. No longer will you have to pick each perk every time. You can also look forward to Aatlis, a new Flashpoint map; Quick Play and Competitive map voting; and revamped versions of New Junk City and Survasa.

Head here for more details. Overwatch 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
