The Spotlight event for Overwatch 2 will cover the entire year’s worth of content so there is a lot to look forward to. According to the official blog post, Blizzard Entertainment has some major plans for the game, which will be revealed during the Spotlight event.

The most exciting announcement made is the PvP updates. In Overwatch 2, PvP has been fairly lackluster for a while now. However, Blizzard has promised “Groundbreaking PvP Gameplay Changes,” which according to them, will be “unlike anything we’ve seen before.”

With the game's current state, this comes as exciting news. It will be interesting to see if this rekindles the enthusiasm of Overwatch 2 players.

Furthermore, the stream will showcase the upcoming new heroes, maps, and cosmetics, which will likely be spread out over the course of the entire year.

Additionally, Blizzard has invited some popular content creators to its Spotlight event to try the new update. They will be streaming the game live on their respective channels. You could also win the new Cyber DJ Lucio legendary skin after watching a creator’s stream for at least an hour.
