Now, that has officially changed. In a recent Director’s Take blog, game director Aaron Keller finally revealed plans for upcoming 6v6 tests in Overwatch 2 Season 14. These limited-time game modes will consist of two tests: the first is a “Min 1, Max 3” mode, and the second is a more traditional 2-2-2 role composition. The former lets fans flex their teams to have up to three characters of a single role, but with at least one tank, support, and damage hero. The latter keeps to the typical two players of each role, but with modern Overwatch 2 design philosophy. Both modes will use a special set of balance changes, including a reduction in the offensive and defensive capabilities of tanks.

The first is a Quick Play: Hacked called Limit 2, in which any role can have up to two players in it. The second, called “Kingmaker,” works like Limit 2 – but the role with only one hero will get a powerful bonus.Blizzard hopes these tests will reshape Overwatch 2 into a game that better reflects what fans want from it. While he could not say if these game modes will ever become permanent, Keller did admit he could see a future where 5v5 and 6v6 exist in Overwatch 2 simultaneously.&#x2715 Remove Ads Players won’t have to wait long to start experiencing these new game modes. Quick Play: Hacked Limit 2 is coming soon – possibly the week after Junkenstein’s Laboratory shuts down on November 5.
