Overwatch 2 players will get a chance to try out 6v6 play with two tests in season 14. OW2 game director Aaron Keller explains how that will work.
As promised, Blizzard Entertainment is going to give Overwatch 2 players one thing they’ve been asking for over the past two years: a return to 6v6 team compositions. The rollout of 6v6 play in December will be part of a series of tests, game director Aaron Keller said Thursday, that “are all about understanding if we can make the core game even stronger.”
Blizzard’s test of the return to 6v6 format will kick off during season 14 of Overwatch 2, which should start on or around Dec. 10. That first test period will be a variation of the game’s Open Queue format, Keller said, which is described as “Min 1, Max 3” — meaning each team of six must have at least one of each role, and no more than three. Players will be able to switch roles on the fly, as long as the team comp adheres to the “Min 1, Max 3” rule.
