Time is flying, and the mid-season patch for Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 1 will drop soon. Although the patch notes haven't been released, Blizzard has already confirmed most of the content that is coming during the second half.
While we wait for the notes to list all the internal changes and adjustments, here is a summary of the confirmed information, alongside some of our speculations.
When Does the Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 1 Mid-Season Patch Come Out?
The mid-season patch for Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 1 is scheduled to go live on Tuesday, March 10, at 11:00 AM PT (6:00 PM GMT).
The patch is already available to preload for PC users through the Battle.net launcher. The preload for console players should be available a few hours before the patch comes out on Tuesday.
What Can We Expect From the Patch Notes?
The patch notes are expected to go live either a day before or when the patch comes out on the game's official website.
Shortly after Season 1 started, Alec Dawson, the game's associate director, mentioned some changes that the developers were working on. Some of these hero changes already went live with a patch not long after, but some are still not available. Here are those changes:
- Mercy: Flash Heal will get integrated into her base kit.
- Lifeweaver: The character will receive a cleanse when using Life Grip.
As you can see, both will result in a buff to these support heroes. The mid-season patch seems like a good opportunity to implement these and give more relevance to these characters in the current meta.
Other things we can expect are adjustments to the heroes in Stadium (especially Vendetta, since she is the most recent addition), quality-of-life features, new cosmetics apart from the Nier: Automata collaboration, and bug fixes.
Once the patch notes are available, we will update this article to add them all here, so you can get up to speed with the changes before jumping back into the game.
