According to the developers, Overwatch 2’s Hero Mastery mode has been delayed until the Season 6 mid-season update for quality assurance reasons.
The Hero Mastery mode for Overwatch 2 has been delayed until the mid-season patch in September. The development team at Blizzard has stated that this delay has happened to provide players with „the best experience“ for the upcoming Overwatch 2 mode.
Overwatch 2 has received heavy criticism ever since the cancelation of the PvE mode, which was downsized and redistributed as paid content that will make its first appearance during the upcoming Season starting in August 2023. The PvE missions were also stated to come with a Hero Mastery mode that would allow players to test their skills with particular heroes. At the time, this new mode seemed like the ideal solution for Overwatch 2’s infamous queue time problems, as it would encourage hero variety and allow players to practice with classes outside their comfort zone to get rewards.
