Blizzard is taking players back to the roots of Overwatch with the new ‘Overwatch Classic’ event, bringing back the iconic 6v6 gameplay and nostalgic hero kits. This limited-time event will feature popular metas from Overwatch 1.0, including the ‘Moth Meta’ and ‘Goats’ era, offering players a chance to relive the golden age of the game.
In a surprising move, Blizzard is bringing back 6v6 matches to Overwatch 2 for testing, offering players a chance to revisit the classic format. Two tests are planned in Season 14, exploring both Open Queue and the traditional 2-2-2 composition. While the move signals a potential shift back to 6v6, the future remains uncertain.
Blizzard Entertainment is considering bringing back the 6v6 format in Overwatch 2 after players expressed a desire to see it return. While the game was built for 5v5, the developers are looking into running events to test out different 6v6 compositions and gauge player response. The return of 6v6 faces challenges, including potential impact on performance and queue times, but the developers are exploring possibilities for its implementation.
