Okay, so picture this: Overwatch 2. Stadium mode. Fans are all over it like bees to honey, and suddenly, there’s this huge buzz about hero bans. Like, everyone’s talking. So, in a Reddit AMA—because why not bring the community into the chaos—players asked Blizzard what’s the deal with hero bans. Pretty much begging, I’d say.

Blizzard was all like, “Hey, it’s tricky right now,” which makes sense, I guess. Daniel Duffin from Blizzard chimed in, saying it’s tough with only 17 heroes in the mix. But they’re not shutting the door completely. “Might revisit,” he said. Hmm, okay, thanks for that tiny hope nugget, Blizzard.

Now, there’s Overwatch 2, right? Kinda like the blockbuster sequel of 2023. They tweaked stuff—team sizes, more flashy game modes. And skins! Oh man, skins galore! Just saw they’ve got this wild Gundam Wing collab going on. Until May 12. Need Wing Gundam Zero Mercy? They’ve got you.

Then there’s this Connor Kou, another Blizzard brain, saying how hero bans could shake things up. “Interesting implications,” he says. Maybe it’s true? Maybe it’s just gamer talk. Either way, since Stadium showed up, player numbers spiked. Like, seriously spiked.

And get this—rumors. Blizzard and Nexon? Could be working on this Overwatch mobile thing. I mean, they’ve been chatting with Netmarble, NCSoft, the whole shebang. Also, whispers about a StarCraft game crackling in the air. Blizzard’s being pretty hush-hush while we’re all just…waiting.

What’s next for Overwatch 2? No clue, but if this all plays out, we might see some very interesting directions. Or not. Who knows? Anyway, the fandom’s not letting up, so let’s see where this ride takes us.
