Next update to Overwatch 2 reapes the game of fins and loot boxes
Blizzard is Making some major changes to Overwatch 2 For its update to Season 15, including the addition of all new gameplay in the form of a Perks system and the return of LOOT BOX Awards, on top of new characters and skins.
Overwatch 2 went through a few changes since leaving early access in 2023, many of whom brought the game from the updated structure that made it a continuation to something that works More like a free version of play on the original OverwatchS However, the fins are legally new. Now during a match you will get two options to choose a bonus for your character. A minor bonus after equalizing for the first time, which adds smaller upgrades such as passive ability or reduction of cooling and a major bonus that can change your character’s play style. For example, Torbjorn can choose from towers that stick to ceilings and walls (outright diabolic upgrade) or even a powerful “tower of level 3”.
As a reward for your hard work while playing, Blizzard also adds to Overwatch 2The PASS battle system by re -introducing loot boxes as another way to get cosmetics. You can earn loot boxes through completely weekly and events rewards and you will receive a legendary prey box for the presence of free domestic pass or two legendary loot boxes for having the premium battle. Beyond the publication of tariffs to drop the boxes, Blizzard ensures that “a rare or better item will fall into each box, with an epic item within five consecutive boxes and a legendary item within twenty consecutive boxes.”
Comes a little later in season 16, Overwatch 2 Will get a whole new game mode at Stadium, which draws a clear inspiration from competitive shooters Counter-Strike 2 and EvaluationS In a stadium match you will be placed in a team of five fights to win a currency in seven possible rounds. Between the circles you can spend this currency to unlock upgrades and customize your abilities as you play. The stadium will also allow you to choose between the traditional first -person mode or a new third party mode, which should facilitate the direction of some of the Wilder’s abilities that you can unlock during a match.
The cherry on top of all these changes are new quality lives, has plans for Blizzard to add this year, as the opportunity to ban specific characters from the match and vote on cards you want to play. Of course, there are two new characters in the works: Freja, “Former search and rescue operating, which has become a hunter of heads” with an explosive crossbow that will play on a free trial weekend during season 15 before joining To the game in Season 16, and a hero who is currently called “Aqua” who will land in season 18 and can control the water.
