Season 21 is next for Overwatch 2 players, and the anticipation for the new content is growing. Due to it being the first season of the year, players are expecting several significant additions, instead of just the usual content we see every season.
We are currently waiting for the Overwatch Spotlight event to receive news on those upcoming additions, but in the meantime, here is a summary of everything we know is coming, along with our speculations.
When Does Overwatch 2 Season 21 Start?
Overwatch 2 Season 21 is scheduled to go live on Tuesday, February 10, on all platforms. The respective update will release at exactly 11:00 AM PT (7:00 PM GMT).
PC players will be able to preload the patch a few days before its release through the Battle.net launcher. The preload for console players should start a few hours before the season begins.
If the format remains the same, the season will last around eight weeks, with a mid-season patch arriving at the midpoint to add a second wave of content.
What Can We Expect?
At the start of last year, Blizzard introduced perks into the game, adding another layer of features and expanding all heroes' capabilities. We expect another addition like this for this season, although it's difficult to predict what it could be.
Given that we haven't seen any new maps or significant changes to existing ones in normal playlists, we expect something related to maps. Stadium received several maps throughout last year, so it's time that the traditional modes receive some love in the shape of new locations.
That doesn't mean Stadium won't receive any updates, as the mode is definitely getting support for more heroes, and more maps from the normal playlists will be adapted for it.
Other Details
Here are other minor details and speculations we can point out about the new season, so you don't miss out on anything:
- A collaboration with another IP is expected to arrive during the season.
- At least two mythic cosmetics should arrive throughout the season.
- The meta will most likely change, with many heroes receiving adjustments.
