Blizzard Entertainment has officially released the patch notes for the highly anticipated Midseason Update of Overwatch 2 Season 15, introducing exciting new content such as the new hero, Freja.
While Freja steals the spotlight, players can also look forward to the LE SSERAFIM collaboration, featuring a unique selection of cosmetic items. To fully experience the new hero and these cosmetics, exciting new game modes are also on the horizon, with some special surprises for long-time players.
Introducing Freja: The Latest DPS Hero in Overwatch 2
Freja is set to elevate the DPS roster, ideal for players who excel at dealing precise damage. Equipped with her trademark weapon, the Revdraw Crossbow, Freja fires explosive bolts for maximum impact. Her Take Aim ability focuses on delivering significant damage spikes, while Quick Dash and Updraft enhance her mobility, ensuring her survival on the battlefield.
Additionally, Freja can deploy a bola that immobilizes enemies, offering a powerful debuff that can shift the momentum of any battle. Players will have a chance to try Freja from March 21 to March 24.
LE SSERAFIM Collaboration: Exclusive Skins and More
The collaboration will feature five Legendary skins, making this a must-have collection for both LE SSERAFIM fans and Overwatch 2 players alike.
Exciting New Game Modes for Overwatch 2 Season 15
Beginning on March 18, players can dive into the fan-favorite 6v6 Open Queue, temporarily reinstating the classic format in place of the 5v5 Open Queue. Prepare to showcase your skills and dominate the competition!
Additionally, players can engage with Overwatch Classic: GOATS, a mode featuring three tanks and three support heroes. This gameplay will revolve around executing combos to unleash devastating damage—a nostalgic throwback to the Overwatch era. Teams will need to adapt their strategies as playing without a DPS hero becomes mandatory.

For those eager for competition, the Competitive Drives will be live from April 15 to April 21.
