New Hero

OW2 Season 20 will kickstart with the debut of a brand-new Damage hero, Vendetta. Weilding a greatsword, she is the first melee-based hero in the Damage roster, capable of absolutely shredding squads on her own. Featuring a high-risk, high-reward kit, Vendetta can run down players like no other. She's definitely going to make some major changes to the meta in the upcoming season.

Hero balance

While we are talking about hero metas being changed with Vendetta, we also have to mention that we speculate there's going to be some major changes to hero balance in Overwatch 2 Season 20. This will be done with respect to hero pick rates and how heroes have generally fared across both casual and competitive playlists.

Furthermore, we are expecting to see some new perks being added to heroes, giving them a fresh vibe with the new season.

Alongside the hero changes in the traditional playlists, we speculate that heroes in Overwatch 2 Stadium are also going to see some major changes to their itemization. This will impact how matches fare in this playlist and eventually pave the path for meta team comps in this mode.


New Battle Pass

The beginning of a new season means that we will see the introduction of a brand-new Battle Pass in the game. Battle Passes are a great way to score a few fantastic skins for your favorite heroes at a nominal price. If you've been a regular player, you can essentially cop one of these passes for free, provided you've been saving up your bonus Overwatch coins from the previous passes that you've completed.

The Battle Pass in Overwatch 2 not only guarantees you cosmetics, but, alongside it, you gain premium currency, Overwatch credits to purchase old skins, voicelines, highlight intros, loot boxes, and so much more. It's a great investment for beginners and veterans alike.

New Mythic skins

Last but not least, we will be seeing the introduction of Mythic-rarity skins for heroes and their weapons with the debut of Overwatch 2 Season 20. Mythic skins are the top-most ranked cosmetics in the game, and they feature unique VFX and SFX, all of which make them an attractive purchase for the community.


That's everything that you need to know about the expected changes coming in Overwatch 2 Season 20.
