Blizzard has revealed its roadmap for Overwatch in 2026, including a return to the franchise's original name and a narrative-driven plan running through the year. The centerpiece is a Talon-focused narrative arc that will roll out alongside substantial hero additions and seasonal content.

  • Franchise rename: The game will drop the "2" and be billed again as Overwatch moving forward.
  • Year-spanning story: A Talon-centric campaign will connect releases and seasons across 2026.
  • Ten new heroes planned for 2026, with five set to arrive immediately when Season 1 begins on February 10.
  • Season 1 launch: Expect a major content push on Feb. 10 that kicks off the new narrative and hero wave.
