Overwatch 2 will test 6v6 role queue matches starting December 17


A new season starts for Overwatch 2 next week, but one of the special modes we'll be getting in the near future is a throwback to the past.

For a limited time during season 14, there will be a 6v6 role queue mode, bringing back the original game's composition of two tanks, two damage and two support. The switch to five players on a team when Overwatch 2 launched was one of the more controversial choices at the time, we heard rumblings recently that Blizzard might walk back the decision. And in a final piece of good Overwatch news, Blizzard shared that sales of the Pink Mercy charity skins earlier this year raised$12.3 million for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
