Overwatch: Homecoming Season 2 Updates:
New reloaded hero La Masa and Shambali temple maps
Overwatch’s “Return” brings its newest hero, and Ramasa will be on the front lines. La Masha is the first tank hero with transforming form as his core ability. He can change his skills and style of play at any time, reflecting his revolutionary way.
In the new payload map, Shambali Monastery, we will follow the winding path traveled by countless omnics who have come to take shelter. Outrun your foes in battle and take control of Zenyatta and the former abode of Ramasar.
new season, new balance
The new season of “Return of Overwatch” will bring a new round of balance changes, allowing more heroes to be competitive enough to achieve balance in the lineup.
Both stats and player feedback indicate that Sojourn is extremely dominant at the high end of competitive play, making it difficult for less skilled players to match. In order to solve the problem of feedback from high-level players, in the second season, we will focus on the lethality of the “Railgun” in long-range battles, and encourage players to use the high mobility of “Soljen” to approach the opponent to play a strong role. And a powerful right-click attack.
Doomfist is getting a massive overhaul to allow him to fill the front line of the team while retaining the hero’s most distinctive core playstyle. Ana, Bastion, Queen Junker, Mist, Angel, and Symmetra will also receive adjustments, so stay tuned for an update on December 7th.
The desired destination
The new season will also bring a new map pool. In addition to the latest map, Shambali Temple, players will also welcome the much-loved Rialto, and the most epic Blizzard World on Earth (some attractions may not be open due to weather). We will also enjoy different times in Oasis City and Nepal, and say goodbye to Hollywood and The Watchpoint: Gibraltar for a while. As a reminder, all rotated maps are still playable in custom games.
Greek Mythology and the Battle of Olympus
Season 2 is all about Gods and Legends: Greek Mythology! This season will bring a brand new mythical skin: Zeus “Queen of the Junk”, which is the pinnacle reward of the advanced battle order. Her skin also has new personalization options, weapon models, voice-overs, and special effects. Bask in the light of the gods! You can also get the legendary skin Poseidon Lamasar and the legendary skin Hades “Pharah” by advancing the advanced battle order.
In the new game mode “Battle of Olympus”, in addition to these heroes, there are many other heroes who will be blessed with divine power. This new limited-time event will start on January 6th and run until January 20th. Stay tuned for skins coming out this season. They may reveal all the wonders of the Battle of Olympus!
festival activities
Both the Snow Country Wonderland and Chinese New Year Celebration events will return with better and updated rewards. Every event in this season, including Battle for Olympus, rewards you with a skin for having fun and completing challenges – including the epic skin Brigitte the Ice Queen, the legendary skin Victory” Angel”, and the legendary skin magpie “Echo”.
hero challenge catch up
We’ll be rolling out new challenges in Season 2, allowing players to acquire new heroes they haven’t unlocked yet.
If the player failed to unlock the fog in the first season or is a new player starting from the second season, he can choose the corresponding challenge to unlock the hero, enter the training range to learn skills, and finally win the Overwatch game Unlock new heroes. Players who wish to skip the challenge can choose to unlock new heroes directly in the in-game store. It should be reminded that players who own the original version of “Overwatch” can automatically get the new heroes “Sorjourn”, “Queen Junker” and Wuzi as long as they log in to the game before the end of Season 2. Overwatch “Returning” new players who log in to the game in Season 1 will receive “Soljourn” and “Queen Junker”.
