Overwatch 2 season 2 release date, UK launch time & patch notes
Overwatch squared.
The Overwatch 2 season 2 release date is here and it has brought with it a brand new update that adds new features, including a new playable character, and makes plenty of changes to the team-based online multiplayer shooter.
Ramattra has finally been added to Overwatch 2 and you can unlock the new Tank hero right away if you've got some cash to spare. As with any decent new season in an online game, though, there's more to season 2 than a new hero.
A Greek mythology theme will run throughout the course of the new season, complete with new events, a new map, and much more. New seasons are always a good excuse to jump back into an online game.

The complete list of Overwatch 2 season 2 update patch notes can be found on the official Overwatch website. Reading through the full list of patch notes, you'll find plenty of character balance changes including Tracer's Pulse Pistols damage being increased from 5 to 6, and more.
Ramattra is a new Tank hero and the first of its class that can change forms on the fly. You’ll be able to unlock Ramattra either right away by purchasing the premium battle pass, or for free by levelling up the basic battle pass to tier 45.
Ramattra isn’t all that’s new as part of season 2, however. A new Escort map, Shambali Monastery, is coming to the game, showing us where heroes Ramattra and Zenyatta once lived. Fan-favourite map Rialto has joined the map pool, too.
There's a whole heap of bug fixes included as part of the new Overwatch 2 update as well, including a fix to the bug "that caused some players to lose competitive challenge progress." This is a big patch and it's worth checking out the complete list of additions and changes in the link above.
