There are already plans for content stretching well into the next year, with much more to come after that. It seems clear that, while Overwatch 2 will mark the biggest evolution of the franchise since the original game launched six years ago, it’s really the foundation for much larger ambitions. There's also a promise of new modes in 2023, along with more than 100 new skins. The devs will also add three or four maps per year.

Then, when the new season starts we'll do a new balance update.” For instance, we would like to do our larger balance updates at the beginning of every season and then make very small changes over the course of it if necessary, but we want a season to have its own story or its own feel to it. “On top of that, we're looking for other ways of balancing. "With the new way that we're creating content for the game, we think there's going to be enough released that it's going to stay fresh on its own,” Overwatch 2 director Aaron Keller said on a call with reporters this week.

That means there will be a total of four new heroes and seven new maps this year. You'll get a new tank hero and another map, along with the ability to snag more than 30 new skins and another Mythic skin.
