Blizzard Teases Major Overwatch 2 PvP Changes in February Spotlight Event

The upcoming Overwatch 2 Spotlight will unveil new heroes, maps, and gameplay updates as Blizzard aims to compete with Marvel Rivals' rising dominance.

Blizzard has announced the Overwatch 2 Spotlight event, scheduled for February 12, to reveal significant updates to the game, including new heroes, maps, and gameplay changes.
The event will focus on 'groundbreaking changes' to the PvP experience, which Blizzard describes as unlike anything seen before in Overwatch 2.
Speculation among players suggests potential returns of the 6v6 format or the introduction of skill trees, though Blizzard has not confirmed specifics.
The updates come as Overwatch 2 faces stiff competition from Marvel Rivals, a new hero shooter that has gained significant popularity since its launch in late 2024.
