Here are Overwatch 2's 'very serious' April Fools' Day patch notes

Overwatch 2

What you need to know

  • For April Fools' Day, Overwatch 2 developer Blizzard typically updates the game so that every hero has animated googly eyes on their face.
  • This year, the studio has gone above and beyond by also updating Arcade Mode with a huge number of silly balance changes that significantly alter what each character in the game is capable of.
  • Each hero also has brand new Ultimate voice lines that reflect the comical nature of the patch.
  • To try out this "very serious" update, you simply need to queue into Arcade Mode matchmaking. It's unclear how long these changes will be active, but it's a safe bet that they're sticking around until the end of April Fools' Day weekend.
