Overwatch 2 is facing major challenges: Marvel Rivals is dominating its competition in every aspect. So it’s no surprise that Blizzard has announced a special Overwatch 2 Spotlight event, where they will unveil groundbreaking changes to the gameplay.

When will the Overwatch 2 Spotlight broadcast take place? February 12. Blizzard promises to reveal new heroes, new maps, and other types of new content. The company will also invite popular streamers to their headquarters to try out the upcoming versions of the game firsthand.

So, what are these groundbreaking gameplay changes? Our theory is that Blizzard may return to the roots of the game and dramatically present the return of the 6v6 format. If that happens, it would be safe to say that Blizzard has effectively admitted its failure and recognized that many years were wasted.

Back in the times of first Overwatch, there were several years when people were willing to play, but there was almost no new content. At that time, Blizzard kept feeding the audience with promises about Overwatch 2. Overwatch 2 was released, many promises were not fulfilled, the switch to the 5v5 format didn’t fully pay off, and while returning to the original format might bring some joy, the timing will be off. In any case, Marvel Rivals is already very close to earning the title of Overwatch Killer.
