[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57830, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/overwatch-2']Overwatch 2[/URL] fans aren’t entirely happy with the game’s rewards and cosmetics, especially considering their high cost. And Blizzard isn’t satisfied, either. During [URL='https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/overwatch/23875435/overwatch-2-developer-blog-season-1-updates-with-new-executive-producer-jared-neuss']a lengthy blog post[/URL], new Overwatch 2 executive producer Jared Neuss revealed that Blizzard is planning some big changes to how its season passes will work. “In Season 2, we’ve changed up our rewards a bit so that each event has a skin you can earn by playing, in addition to the other cosmetic rewards we already offer,” he explained. Notably, the game’s recent Halloween Terror event rewarded little beyond voice lines, some titles, and XP. “We’re also going to continue our Twitch drops programs so that you can earn skins and in-game goodies by supporting your favorite creators,” he added. “While we're working on the long-term plans, we want upcoming seasons to feel more rewarding than Season 1.” Improvements to battle pass rewards will go a long way, especially if this includes additional free skins… but there’s more to do in the long term. Thankfully, Blizzard is planning to up the ante when it comes to Season 3. “For Season 3 and beyond, we’re looking at a mix of Battle Pass changes, more interesting Challenges to pursue, and more exciting play-focused progression systems for you all to dig into. We’ll be able to talk about some of these changes soon, but other changes may take more time to lock-in.” Quite what this means for Overwatch 2 remains to be seen, and since the game’s shift to free-to-play, monetization has proven to be a bit of a sticking point.
