After Overwatch 2's best year ever, the FPS' director admits past updates were "too conservative" and 2026 is starting with "something huge" that "blows your minds"

Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller reckons the sequel's updates were "too conservative" in the past, but going forward, he wants "a future where we become less conservative and create high-impact, high-octane moments that hopefully blow your minds."

In a new 'Director's Take' blog, Keller rewound the clocks and looked back to the start of the year when Blizzard Entertainment added "big new features" like unlockable perks, the return of loot boxes, and a massive third-person mode called Stadium, putting the sequel on steadier ground than ever.
