Perks: Redefining Gameplay
Coming when Season 15 launches on February 18 is a significant innovation to core gameplay of Overwatch: Perks! These hero-specific bonuses level up gameplay, allowing you to customize your strategies like never before. You will be able to choose from different upgrades to your hero’s kit, creating new options to either cement your team’s victory or to turn the tide away from a potential defeat.
Stadium: The Ultimate Battleground
Launching in Season 16 in April, Stadium is the biggest game mode we’ve ever made. In fact, this is more than just a game mode, it is an entirely new way to experience Overwatch.
In Stadium’s best-of-7 system, you’ll earn in-game Stadium coins each round to unlock and customize abilities for your heroes. These powerful upgrades will be able to alter your survivability and damage while even completely revamping your hero’s abilities. Stadium is packed with transformative powers and strategic encounters that enhance the hero fantasy beyond anything we’ve released, focused on letting you play how you want.
Reinhardt flying through the air to charge behind the enemy line before unleashing a lava-spreading Firestrike. Soldier:76 buffing attack speed of allies standing within Biotic Field. A triple kunai throwing Kiriko that can teleport to enemies. Or a battle Mercy that not only can clear the battlefield of enemies, but has a shield to protect fallen allies while being resurrected. All of that (and more) are possible in Stadium!
