Virtual combat enthusiasts, it's that time again! The Overwatch 2 Patch Notes for Season 6 are here, bringing a breath of fresh air to the popular Blizzard multiplayer game.

Hero Changes

As you may know, balancing the various heroes is crucial in Overwatch 2. That's why Blizzard has once again made some adjustments to ensure fairness for each character. Mercy in particular has been affected this time - her damage boost has been significantly reduced. But fear not, Mercy fans! Changes like these are always made to make the gameplay more balanced and exciting.

Welcome Illari - our new hero

In this update, we also welcome a new support hero to our ranks. Her name is Illari, and she brings a whole range of cool abilities with her. With her solar energy, she can attack enemies or heal allies - depending on where she is needed.

PvE story missions and event missions

With the introduction of story missions and event missions, you will now be able to experience unique hero balance changes exclusively for co-op modes. So grab your controllers and dive into the action!

Numerous changes for your favorite heroes

In addition to all the mentioned updates, there are, of course, many more changes for your favorite characters. Whether they are good or bad depends on who you like to play the most. Some good news, for example, for fans of Lifeweaver, Lucio, Bastion, Torbjörn, Winston, and Orisa.
