Overwatch 2 season 3 update: patch notes reveal new maps and full tank hero overhaul

The new Overwatch 2 season has dropped, and with it comes many balance changes to fix the game.

As always with Overwatch updates, there is a new map hitting the scene to keep the rotation interesting, but there's also a map from Overwatch 1 being added to this title for the first time, making for a second new setting for those who didn't play the first game. Alongside this, you'll find a range of maps adjusted between day, night and evening time, which is a refreshing change.

Following big changes to Roadhog back in the last Overwatch 2 update, all tanks have been adjusted, mainly in non-role queue modes to put a stop to the five-tank stomp meta. This is the first time we've seen Blizzard implement changes to heroes in one queue type only, meaning meta's will now vary between queue types.
