In a recent blog post dated February 1, 2025, Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller reviewed the game's past updates and outlined future plans.

The 2024 updates included significant changes such as rebalancing hero health pools, reworking passives, and reintroducing the 6v6 game mode, which reshaped gameplay.

The reintroduction of the 6v6 game mode proved popular, accounting for nearly 10% of total playtime during its availability, highlighting strong player demand.

Keller emphasized the success of the 2024 initiatives, including hero rebalancing and competitive system overhauls, aimed at enhancing gameplay and player experience.

Looking ahead, Blizzard Entertainment is committed to implementing significant changes in 2025, focusing on making heroes more engaging and unique.

Following the major changes made in the previous year, Blizzard has set the stage for further refinements in 2025.

The development team plans to continue creating heroes that offer increased mobility and verticality, which will enhance the dynamics of battles.

Keller hinted at the potential introduction of talents and pickable passives, which would allow players to customize abilities for diverse playstyles, although this feature is not yet confirmed.
