Overwatch 2 Season 2 is fast approaching and while many details remain under wraps for now, we have an early look at what to expect. From Ramattra’s debut to the next Battle Pass, here’s what you need to know.

With the Overwatch 2 Early Access release now well underway, seasonal updates will be rolling out every few months. So while Season 1 is still the focus for now, the Season 2 content drop is lurking about us and there’s still a lot of work to do to shake things up.

This time, a brand new tank takes the spotlight as Ramattra announces its presence. Joining the Omnic Hero is another new map and of course a wide variety of cosmetics to unlock in the Season 2 Battle Pass.

So, before the update hits, be sure to refresh yourself with our full rundown of everything there is to know about Overwatch 2 Season 2.

Overwatch 2 Season 2 Release Date

As revealed in Overwatch 2’s first content roadmap, we know for sure Season 2 goes live on Tuesday, December 2nd. Apparently coinciding with the end of Season 1, all original content will be discontinued immediately when the update is deployed.

Each season is expected to last a total of nine weeks, meaning players can expect that Season 2 ends on Tuesday February 7th, 2023.

What’s coming in Season 2 of Overwatch 2?

New tank hero Ramattra

At the forefront of the Season 2 update is Ramattra, the next tank hero in Overwatch 2. First revealed at the OWL Grand Finals, this omnic should be familiar to veteran players. Ramattra actually appeared as a mysterious villain in the 2019 Storm Rising event.

This character dives into combat with two different modes, and can switch between the normal Omnic form and the more aggressive Nemesis form. In the first case, Ramattra takes on a more defensive role, protecting his team while dealing poke damage from afar. However, the second mode transforms him into a much larger force as he charges into battle.

As with Kiriko in Season 1, Ramattra will not be available to all players immediately. You must unlock this tank hero in the Season 2 Battle Pass up to level 55. However, you can opt for the Premium Battle Pass Bundle, which offers instant access for a fee.

Ramattra will certainly smooth out the current meta on his Season 2 debut.

Mysterious new map

While we don’t know exactly where we’re going in Season 2, we do know that a new map is on the way. As confirmed in the original roadmap, Season 2 will introduce a single new map to the pool, although it’s unclear which mode it’s destined for.

We could see a different place for the newer push game type, or it could be an addition to one of the game’s more established modes. We’ll just have to wait and see what Blizzard has in store for us in the coming weeks.

Next Mythic Skin

We also know for sure that each new Battle Pass comes with its own Mythic Skin. Following the arrival of Mythic Genji in Season 1, it’s still unclear which hero will receive the next customizable outfit.

However, we do know that it won’t be Ramattra upon release. The developers confirmed this to Dexerto, revealing that plans for his own Mythic Tier cosmetic are not yet underway.

Overwatch 2 Season 2 Battle Pass

The Season 2 Battle Pass will feature the usual assortment of cosmetic items, along with some additional rewards at the end for those who work their way through.

From the aforementioned Mythic Skin to Ramattra in Tier 55, there’s plenty to unlock. However, the exact theme of the second season is not yet known. So check back soon as we’ll keep you posted here with more information as details emerge.
