Blizzard didn’t give any hints aboutBastion’s rework, but it will definitely be interesting to see since he’s been such a controversial character in the hero shooter. In the meantime, Sombra is also getting a rework forOverwatch 2, and that will also be on display at the Overwatch League Grand Finals. Sombra has been a counter to Bastion for ages in the originalOverwatch, so that may be why Blizzard chose to reveal their reworks at the same time.
Those tuning in to the Overwatch League Grand Finals on September 25 will be treated to more than just Bastion and Sombra reworks. An exhibition match ofOverwatch 2in action will also be on display, which sould be one of the best looks that fans of the hero shooter have gotten of the game to date. These updates will come as part of theOverwatch League Grand Finalspre-show and during the big game’s half-time show.
It seems that many characters on theOverwatchrosterare getting reworked forOverwatch 2, a necessity born from the fact that the game is dropping from six players per team to five. TheOverwatch 2team composition will consist of two DPS characters, two Support characters, and one Tank character, and that has necessitated big changes to many characters in the game. Some of the otherOverwatch 2characters that will reportedly getting reworks or rebalanced are Brigitte, Doomfist, and Tracer.
Of course, theOverwatch 2Tank heroeswill especially be getting changed since having one Tank per team will make the role significantly more important. Blizzard has already explained a potential Reinhardt rework inOverwatch 2, though it remains to be seen how the game will be changing the other Tank heroes on the roster.
