Blizzard is kicking off the Lunar New Year event for Overwatch 2, bringing with it cosmetic rewards and arcade brawls.
The team was previously exploring changes to the Battle Pass, more "interesting' Challenges," and "exciting play-focused progression systems."
The recent balance patch was light due to some changes being "pulled forward to the mid-December patch," says director Aaron Keller.
Junker Queen receives additional healing from Wounds, Brigitte's Barrier Shield HP increases, and Zarya gets reduced Energy degeneration.
Available until January 19th, the limited-time event sees Greek mythology versions of select heroes fighting in a free-for-all deathmatch.
The limited-time mode starts January 5th and features seven heroes competing in a free-for-all deathmatch with unique powers.
