Sun Mar 30 05:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Overwatch 2 May Drop the “2,” Rebranding as Original Game Continues

**Los Angeles, CA** – Rumors are swirling that Blizzard Entertainment may be dropping the “2” from *Overwatch 2’s* title, according to a Twitter thread by Ska’Vorah (@SkaVorah). This speculation stems from in-game changes, including the rebranding of skins. Skins from the original *Overwatch* are now labeled “Classic,” while *Overwatch 2* skins are called “Valorous,” suggesting a potential merging of the two games under a single banner.

The rebranding coincides with the upcoming Season 16, which will feature new Mythic aspects and a collaboration celebrating the 30th anniversary of *Gundam*. Season 15 is slated to end in mid-April, with details on Season 16 expected soon.

While the news hasn’t been officially confirmed by Blizzard, the observed changes within the game strongly indicate a shift in branding strategy. This move comes after a tumultuous launch for *Overwatch 2*, which initially suffered from significant server issues. The game, available on PC (Steam/Battle.net), Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, is currently free-to-play. Despite its rocky start, the game has received positive feedback for its new heroes, maps, and gameplay modes.
