Overwatch 2: Season 9 "Gameplay & Competitive Breakdown" Video

Class is in session! Join mL7 and Eskay in the video above as they break down some of the gameplay and competitive changes in Overwatch 2’s latest season.

As you might remember, back at BlizzCon, during the Overwatch 2: What’s Next Panel, Blizzard talked through some of the philosophy guiding major systemic changes coming this year: striving to make PvP gameplay more rewarding and fun, and providing greater transparency for players in-game. That begins in earnest with Season 9.

On the Competitive side, Blizzard is introducing an all-new progression system, a brand new tier above Grand Master, and Jade Weapon Variants for players to unlock through competitive play, among other updates. On the gameplay front, the team is introducing major changes affecting combat, hero survivability, and role passives.
