Overwatch is Adding 5 New Heroes Next Week to Kick Off Massive Comeback
Overwatch is undergoing a major shake-up in 2026, dropping "2" from the title and reworking how seasons and narrative content will be approached going forward. Following the conclusion of Season 20, Overwatch will be committing to a brand-new storytelling method that sees a year-long narrative arc with each season adding to that year's narrative. As such, Overwatch is effectively resetting the seasonal count each year, with Season 1 kicking off the Reign of Talon arc.
