As we stated above, the biggest highlight of the mid-season update is undoubtedly the hero changes that are coming for the core game modes within the title. The introduction of Pharah and Brigitte in Stadium has led to interesting meta developments in the mode, and we expect Blizzard Entertainment to incorporate a few balance updates to help improve the meta within this game mode.
Alongside that, the highly anticipated Persona 5 collaboration is almost here. Popular source for Overwatch 2 content, @OWCavalry has sourced in-game images that showcase all the new collab skins. We believe fans are going to be pleased with everything that will be popping up with the OW2 Season 18 mid-season update.
