Blizzard renames Overwatch 2 to Overwatch, declaring it a 'forever game' with year-long narrative arcs, starting Season 1: The Reign of Talon on Feb 10, introducing ten new characters (five at launch), plus subroles, passives, and a comprehensive UI overhaul; the update ties in comics, shorts, and in-game content to a deeper world, while balancing and content pacing remain focus areas.
Blizzard is rebooting Overwatch with a Season 1 that doubles as a year-long storytelling arc called Reign of Talon, returning the game to its single-name branding and weaving narrative into gameplay with map changes, new voice lines, and cinematic ties. Ten new heroes are planned this year—five available at launch next week and five more in the following seasons—including Jetpack Cat, plus two maps later this year and a redesigned menu. While the pace promises excitement and a fresh meta, balancing five new heroes at once poses challenges, and fans can expect a sustained push to tell an ongoing story across cinematics, comics, and in-game events as the game nears its 10th anniversary.
