Overwatch 2 Director Teases “Monumental” Updates Coming Soon
Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller has teased major upcoming content for Blizzard’s team-based shooter, promising that “monumental” updates are on the way. This news comes as Season 16 continues to roll out with exciting new features.
Season 16 launched on April 22, introducing the new *Stadium* game mode—a 5v5 best-of-seven format featuring a third-person view and reworked hero abilities. The evolving *Perk System* from Season 15 also continues to be refined for better gameplay balance.
In a recent interview with streamer Emongg, Keller emphasized that while Stadium and the Perks system are significant additions, they’re just the beginning. He hinted at big surprises in upcoming seasons and described next year’s plans as “bonkers,” implying long-term content development into 2026.
Fans already have a few things to look forward to:
* A new support hero named **Aqua**, described as a “water wielder,” is coming in a future season.
* Hero **Freja** will become playable in *Stadium* during the mid-Season 16 update.
* Blizzard also confirmed more heroes and maps are on the way in future seasons as Stadium mode expands.
With competitors like *Marvel Rivals* emerging, these future updates could play a crucial role in keeping the Overwatch 2 community engaged.
