Blizzard drops ‘2’ from Overwatch ahead of season reset

Blizzard has officially pulled the plug on the “2” in Overwatch 2, confirming a full rebrand back to just Overwatch starting with the next season in February 2026.

The move from the studio comes right as the game hits its 10th anniversary. Game Director Aaron Keller dropped the news in the Overwatch 2026 Spotlight Event, calling it a “new era, a new chapter” for the franchise.
