Blizzard Entertainment is making significant changes to Monitoring 2starting by unlocking each new hero on his roster.
A brand new developer update details the many changes coming to the 5v5 multiplayer first-person shooter, and it all starts with Season 10.
While there is no release date for Season 10 yet, Blizzard has announced that it will shake things up next season by implementing a highly requested feature: making all new heroes immediately free upon release. launch. This also applies to all existing heroes on the roster and means players will no longer need to purchase Overwatch tokens to purchase heroes or progress through the Battle Pass to unlock them.
This new change will come into effect with the game‘s 40th hero, Venture, which will be released alongside Season 10.
Staying in tune with hero changes, Monitoring 2 will soon allow players to earn, upgrade, and unlock Mythic skins through the new Mythic Shop, a new system that aims to speed up the process for past and current seasonal skins as you progress through the Premium Battle Pass.
You can check out the developer update below.
“You decide how high you want to build in each Mythic skin,” Blizzard explains in the blog post. “So, for example, if you don’t want to fully unlock all color or model variations of a skin, you can expand your progress to other Mythic hero skins.”
Legacy Mythics are also being added to the Mythic Store and seasonal Mythic skins will be available two seasons after their debut, meaning skins from seasons one through seven will be available in the Mythic Store starting in Season 10.
Monitoring 2 will also receive a brand new limited-time mode called Clash, which was first introduced at BlizzCon 2023. The trial mode starts at the start of Season 10 and takes place on the new Hanaoka map. As for new maps, Blizzard also announced Season 11, which will add a new Push map set in Peru, as well as a reworked Colosseo.
The studio added that following the feedback, it would also be making “significant updates” to Dorado, Circuit Royale, Havana and Numbani, although details have not yet been shared.
In addition to new character customization, Season 10 will also change its reward system. Players will be able to earn coins as they progress through free and premium battle passes, “making them easier and more consistent to earn”, while increasing the number of coins you can earn for free from 540 to 600 pieces per season.
Blizzard didn’t give any details on what gameplay changes it will make soon, but said its long-term vision is to “maintain a steady heartbeat in the game by constantly introducing new or updated systems, in shaking up the meta, implementing ranking resets and introducing new rewards.
