Almost a decade has passed since the first tests of the online shooter Overwatch were organized, and since the official release of the first game, the game has gained millions of fans, mainly due to active development by Blizzard. Because a lot of time has passed, it’s likely that not all current players of the second installment of the popular hero shooter series remember its origins and features from the first game, such as the 6v6 battles that were replaced by 5v5 duels in the second game. However, there are die-hard fans who have long been asking for six-player teams to be introduced in Overwatch 2.
Today, Blizzard published an extensive announcement about matches in which 12 heroes fight each other on one map, explaining why the studio has been so reluctant to return to the old variant of matches until now.
