Next week Blizzard will add Rammatra and the new escort map Shambali to Overwatch 2.
For starters, there’s the new tank Rammatra, who can change forms within a match.
That marks a first for his role in Overwatch 2, according to Blizzard.
He also packs a pretty powerful purple punch.
Shambali Monastery, meanwhile, is set in the Himalayan peaks.
It’s also apparently the home of Zenyatta and Rammatra.
As for the overall theme of Season 2, Blizzard is going with Greek mythology.
In fact, Zeus Junker Queen serves as the top reward for the premium Battle Pass.
Earlier tiers will include Legendary Poseidon Ramattra and Legendary Hades Pharah.
Blizzard is promising even more skins for this event, though specifics aren’t provided.
