Attention Overwatch 2 enthusiasts! Get ready for a thrilling update in Season 10 as Wrecking Ball, the formidable Tank hero, is set to undergo a small rework, promising a fresh and dynamic gameplay experience starting in early April.
Currently midway through Season 9, Overwatch 2 is preparing to implement a substantial midseason patch on March 12, bringing adjustments to about half of the game’s roster. However, Wrecking Ball enthusiasts will have to hold their excitement a bit longer, as the beloved tank hero is not among those receiving adjustments in this particular patch. Game director Aaron Keller recently shared in an Overwatch 2 Director’s Take blog that Wrecking Ball is in for a “small rework” in Season 10, which is slated to kick off on or around April 7.
Wrecking Ball, known for being one of the most challenging heroes to master in Overwatch 2, boasts unique vertical and horizontal mobility, setting him apart with a play style that comes with a high learning curve. His unconventional tank role has sometimes made him a tricky teammate to play alongside in Quick Play, prompting Overwatch 2 to consider a rework to enhance his compatibility. The upcoming changes aim to fine-tune Wrecking Ball’s kit and bring a refreshing twist to his chaotic presence on the battlefield.
While the exact details of the rework are shrouded in mystery for now, Overwatch 2’s lead hero designer, Alec Dawson, has previously expressed concerns about Wrecking Ball’s design being tailored for Overwatch 1, where teams consisted of six players. This insight hints that fans can anticipate adjustments that allow Wrecking Ball to shine as a solo tank in Overwatch 2, providing a more impactful field presence.
As Overwatch 2 gears up for Season 10, there’s even more excitement on the horizon. The new season will introduce Venture, a subterranean explorer and the first non-binary hero in the game. Set to join the Overwatch 2 roster at the beginning of Season 10, Venture promises a unique set of abilities and an intriguing backstory, with details set to be unveiled over the next month.
So, mark your calendars and get ready for the exhilarating changes coming to Wrecking Ball in Season 10, along with the groundbreaking addition of Venture to the Overwatch 2 hero lineup. The battlefield is about to become even more thrilling!
