What's coming with Overwatch 2 Season 12 mid-season update?

The biggest addition to the Overwatch 2 mid-season update is the OW2 World of Warcraft collaboration event. As per the official trailer, the upcoming collaboration will not only feature unique collectible cosmetics for numerous heroes but also an exciting limited-time event.

As evident from the trailer, players will be able to purchase unique limited-time cosmetics for the following Heroes upon this collaboration's debut:

1. Reinhardt
2. Zenyatta
3. Torbjorn
4. Widowmaker

Furthermore, a sequence of balance changes has also been promised by Game Director Aaron Keller. Players can expect viable nerfs to surface for Heroes such as Sombra and D.Va. This duo has been a massive threat to the game, destabilizing the entire meta of the current season.

We believe these changes will improve the playable state, allowing players to have a more diverse hero pool instead of insta-picking the two broken characters in the game.
