As Overwatch 2 thrives, Blizzard outlines how it's tending the game's foundation

Blizzard has been massively improving Overwatch 2 throughout 2025. The team has spent the last few months introducing a slate of game-changing features and modes that breathe entirely new life into the aging hero shooter, reminding us why OW2 is so good in the first place. Between the new perks, hero bans, and Stadium game mode, Overwatch 2 almost feels like an entirely different game right now. This is undoubtedly a good thing, but it’s also reasonable to feel a bit worried about how these new features could overshadow Blizzard’s focus on the core game. Well, the Diablo and World of Warcraft studio is here to alleviate those fears.
