Overwatch 2 – Stadium

To celebrate Stadium's grand opening, we're kicking off the seasonal Stadium: Initiation event, where winning will earn you more than just bragging rights. You'll make a name for yourself by conquering challenges, climbing the ranks, and unlocking limited-time cosmetics like the Stadium Rookie Soldier: 76 and Stadium All-Star Juno skins before they're gone. For those looking to solidify themselves among Stadium's best, hitting Elite rank comes with permanent accolades—the Stadium Elite Genji, Orisa, and Moira skins. So, perfect your strategy, dominate your opponents, or just simply rake in wins for the fun of it (and the prizes), the choice is yours. The Stadium: Initiation event will be here for you to flex your skills and reap the rewards all season long.

Freja

There's a new DPS hero officially arriving! Freja will be here to stay and fair warning once more—she never misses her mark. Armed with her Revdraw Crossbow and an arsenal of high-mobility abilities, Freja rewards precision, positioning, and the pursuit of targets. Her crossbow fires with both rapid precision and explosive power, letting you control any engagement. Need to reposition? Her Quick Dash and Updraft abilities let you escape danger, chase down enemies, or set up the perfect shot. And when it's time to really lock down a fight, her devastating Bola Shot Ultimate will tangle enemies together to create massive playmaking opportunities.
