Season 9 of Overwatch 2 is finally here. As you'd expect, Blizzard has provided a rundown of all the new additions coming to the team-based shooter.
In a new blog post covering the patch notes, Blizzard reveals not only that the new update introduces season 9 but also a slew of improvements to competitive play. Most notably, the developer reworked competitive updates -- instead of requiring a player to win five matches or lose 15, they will receive updates after every match. A new skill tier, Champion, above Grandmaster, has also been introduced. Blizzard touted that "only an exceedingly small percentage of players will ever occupy this echelon of Competitive Play."
Overwatch 2's Season 9 update also introduces a new co-op event called Cosmic Criss. Players will team up with three others to repair their ship, fend off enemies, and try to escape the Ruins of Ecopoint Antarctica.
In our review of Overwatch 2, we said: "Overwatch 2’s switch to a 5v5 format breathes new life into what was once the sharpest shooter around. It just hasn’t quite recaptured all of that glory – yet."
You can check out the full patch notes below.
NEW EVENT: COSMIC CRISIS
Face off against eldritch abominations in the twisted reality of Cosmic Crisis, a brand-new co-op mission. Work with three other players to repair your ship and escape the ruins of Ecopoint Antarctica while fighting off the monstrous Null Sector. But keep an eye out for your teammates… an ancient power lurks in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike.
