Wuyang trailer soon? And other future plans teased by Aaron Keller for Overwatch 2

BBG News

During a recent conversation with Jay3, Overwatch 2’s director Aaron Keller discussed upcoming changes, competition with Marvel Rivals, Wuyang, and various other topics.

During a chat with streamer Jay3, Overwatch 2’s game director Aaron Keller has dropped some clues about future content. He also tantalized fans with the notion of secret delights tied to Wuyang, the upcoming support hero in the game, which will be unveiled at ChinaJoy 2025, starting on August 1.

Overwatch 2 x Marvel Rivals

In their chat, Aaron Keller and popular U.S. streamer Jay3 Pavloff primarily discussed the escalating competition between Overwatch 2 and Marvel’s new multiplayer game, Marvel Rivals.

As an enthusiastic supporter, I’d like to share that Keller has underscored the fact that the forthcoming enhancements aren’t a direct response to Marvel Rivals. Instead, he’s emphasized that several key components, like the Stadium, perks system, game bans, and other substantial improvements, have been meticulously crafted over a period of more than a year. While he acknowledges that competition can foster growth, he’s unequivocally stated that these updates represent strategic long-term planning rather than a reactive move.

Lore and animated shorts

Keller shared that the Overwatch 2 team will revisit its storyline. After scrapping major PvE plans scheduled for release this year, the team had to start anew and temporarily step back in order to progress again. Their aim is to return with captivating animated short stories, which Keller considers crucial for the game’s development.

Concerning recent developments, Keller discussed the potential comeback of the Looking For Group (LFG) feature, following a surge of community interest. In terms of Season 18, Keller hinted that it will be a significant season with things escalating, emphasizing substantial advancements in “cutting-edge gameplay systems” and grander plans for the game and its world in the upcoming year.

For enthusiastic fans of Wuyang, the game director unveiled some secret treats during ChinaJoy 2025, starting August 1. It’s possible we’ll get a sneak peek at a trailer or even an early playtest for the upcoming Chinese support character. We can hardly contain our anticipation as Wuyang is set to debut in Overwatch 2 Season 18!
