The Overwatch 2 devs have finally revealed plans to return to 6v6 gameplay through a series of tests to determine if the game should permanently go back to the old format.

At launch, Overwatch 2 differentiated itself from the original game by dropping to 5v5, with just one tank per team to emphasize FPS gameplay and reduce queue times.

However, this change meant that teamplay took a bit of a hit, and there were no longer the same big ultimate combo moments that made some people fall in love with the original.

Now, after years of complaining and petitions from its players for 6v6 to return, Overwatch 2 will be doing just that… sort of.

“We’re looking at running a series of events to try out different core team composition formats in Overwatch 2,” Game Director Aaron Keller said. “We’re exploring how we can test different forms of 6v6 in the game to gauge the results.”

They are trying to rebirth that train wreak.
I hope they have success with that after the big loses.

But the biggest issue is still the F2P monetization.

With Blizzard having just unionized, how will Microsoft handle this team's lack of record breaking profits?
