Blizzard Entertainment's team-based shooting game 'Overwatch 2'18 season will begin on the 27th.
In the 18th season, various contents will be introduced, including large-scale upgrades to the stadium, new support heroes 'Uyang', battle reorganization between players, hero progress 2.0, and new myth items.
First of all, a new hero, a completely new way of playing and battlefield, new features, and a strong list of items will be added to the stadium, which has received good responses since its introduction in April. It presents a quick and light version of the stadium, the fast Daejeon queue. The match length is short, mid-joining and cross-play are supported. Draft mode serves as a pre-game operational meeting, allowing you to devise hero choices and strategies to respond to opposing teams. A new cargo race mode can also be added, pushing cargo side by side past checkpoints, and fighting for the final.
In addition, new battlefields 'Hazardous Mine', 'Tems District', 'Oasis Garden' are added, and the list of items is expanded, including 3 new items, 10 major revamped items, and 9 balance updated items. In addition, Winston, Brigitte, Farah and Tracer will join the stadium in the second half of the season.
The new support hero 'Wuyang' will also officially join. Wu Yang transforms the rules of healing with techniques designed for sharp aim, quick thinking, and flexible mobility.
In addition, it begins with a complete system reorganization that will initialize the competition environment and strengthen the strategy through more than 50 new hero-specific privileges and numerous changes. At least one new perk will be added to every hero, and hero options such as Lucio, Winston, and Farah will be updated and balanced for smarter team combinations and creative builds.
In addition, Hero Progress 2.0 to rebuild the leveling system from scratch will be applied along with faster progress, a neat user interface, and a permanent prestige function that can show off their efforts. Each hero is raised independently, so he can check his growth and see exactly where he invested his time. The new Awakening System rewards animated portrait borders for every 20, 40, and 60 levels achieved, which are automatically displayed in the hero selection window for all to see.
In addition, the returning cowboy bebop collaboration, which will be available from 27th to 9th September, and the season premium battle pass, which will unlock hero skills ratings, advanced information panels, and various items, will be introduced from the summer sports competition from 3rd to 16th September.
