Overwatch 2 has announced several new features, including the return of the revamped Loot Box.
Heroes now have the ability to upgrade their skills during gameplay (up to 2 rounds per match). The first upgrade is a minor one with 2 options, while the second upgrade is a significant one that can change gameplay. This feature will debut in Season 15.
Introducing Stadium, a new game mode that is the largest in the game. Players must compete in a best-of-7 format, with each round awarding coins for character customization in the next round. The arena will also provide plentiful resources. This mode will be introduced in Season 16 with 14 heroes to choose from.
Freja, a new hero, is a female archer who wields a crossbow and will be available in Season 16.
Aqua, the 44th new hero, currently known by the code name Aqua, is a Chinese character who manipulates water elements to transform the battlefield. Aqua will debut in Season 18.
Loot Boxes are making a return after controversy in several countries deeming it as gambling, leading Blizzard to remove them in 2022. Blizzard claims that this return will be more transparent, ensuring a certain level of rare items in each box.
TLDR: Overwatch 2 introduces new features like hero upgrades, a new Stadium mode, and new heroes Freja and Aqua with unique abilities. The controversial Loot Boxes make a comeback with promises of transparency and guaranteed rare items.
