Blizzard Entertainment announced a huge Mid-Season 16 update for Overwatch 2, unleashing a fresh drop of content and changes that will leave their imprint on the hero shooter’s competitive and non-competitive environment. The update includes a new hero, core balance modifications, and exciting co-op events, ensuring a lively play experience throughout the season.

The highlight of the update is the introduction of Freja, a new addition to the game’s highly sought-after Stadium mode. She is followed by a series of fine-tuning tweaks to the set of heroes and modes of play in efforts to polish up competitive play while predominantly making the game more balanced. All these are requirements of keeping the game’s meta well-balanced and ensuring a smooth, enjoyable experience for all involved.

Contributing to the value of the season’s content is the highly anticipated collaboration with Street Fighter 6. The partnership ensures a range of new in-game activities and unique cosmetic skins, whereby players can celebrate the iconic fighting game franchise in the Overwatch 2 universe. Such collaborations are important in keeping the game new and expanding the player base while bringing different fans from different communities together by sharing an experience.

The patch also contains a big batch of hero balance changes. Some popular fan heroes such as Hazard, Reinhardt, Reaper, Soldier: 76, Widowmaker, Illari, and Lifeweaver are getting buffs that will increase their power and strategic worth. On the other hand, Freja, Genji, Pharah, and Sombra will be undergoing changes in the form of nerfs, aimed to balance their power and facilitate more diverse hero picks. These recurring balance passes illustrate the developer’s dedication to responsiveness and that no one hero ever has complete control of the battlefield.

The remaining new additions in the patch are introducing the Merciful Magitech Mercy Mythic Weapon skin, a beautiful aesthetic addition for a very well-liked support hero. The new instant report notification system shows that Blizzard wants a good community by being able to quickly respond to disrupting behavior. Overwatch community from its inception will also enjoy the refresh of Overwatch Classic event, the return of 6v6 game mode from patch October 2020, providing the veterans with nostalgia and the new entrants with a brand-new one.

Alongside these major changes, the patch also includes several quality-of-life enhancements and bug fixes that make the game more enjoyable to play and increases its smoothness. Throughout the rest of Mid-Season 16, players will get to experience these changes affect the meta and enhance their Overwatch 2 experience, with Season 17 officially beginning on June 24.
