OMG, Overwatch 2 Season 20 is FINALLY here and it’s packing more heat than a blizzard in July! 🎮❄️ As a hardcore OW player since day one, I’m screaming about Vendetta—our first true melee damage hero—plus revamped Stadium chaos, holiday events dripping with skins, and competitive upgrades that’ll make climbing ranks feel like flying. Launching December 9, 2025, this season is Blizzard’s mic-drop finale for the year, blending vengeance, festivity, and game-changing tweaks. Grab your controllers, babes—this is NOT a drill!
⚔️ Meet Vendetta: The Melee Queen Shaking Up the Meta
Marzia "Vendetta" Bartalotti isn’t just another hero; she’s a Talon exec’s daughter out for BLOOD against both Talon and Overwatch. 🤯 Her kit? Pure close-combat chaos! With Whirlwind Dash slicing through teams and hyper-mobility that’d make Genji jealous, she’s redefining flanker play. I tested her on PTR—imagine Doomfist’s aggression meets Reaper’s lethality. Pro tip: Pair her with a Zarya bubble for max carnage!
People Also Ask:
-
Is Vendetta viable in competitive? ABSOLUTELY—her ult melts tanks in seconds!
-
What’s her backstory? Daughter of ex-Talon bigwig Antonio Giordani, fueled by revenge (hence "Vendetta").
🏟️ Stadium Mode Just Got Insane: Doomfist, Wuyang & China Map
Stadium mains, REJOICE! 🙌 Doomfist and Wuyang are now playable, and Cassidy’s powers got a total makeover—think faster magnetic grenades and deadlier fan-fire. The new China Control map? Jade temples and lantern-lit alleys make it Insta-worthy. Plus, Top 500 leaderboards and the League 6 Reaper Chase skin (a ghostly spectral beast!) reward the grindiest players.
