Overwatch 2 is leaning into its origins as a MOBA-inspired shooter with its all-new game mode, Overwatch 2 Stadium.

Since its initial launch, Overwatch 2 has faced strong competition from some of the other best FPS games and hero shooters, but it’s finally starting to pull away from the pack thanks to the new Stadium game mode. The explosive trailer shows just how much this shakes up the standard Overwatch 2 metagame by implementing hero locks and item loadouts like those typically found in League of Legends games. MOBAs are few and far between on the Nintendo Switch, so it’s awesome to see these elements entering such a beloved Switch title. The 5v5 mode is a fast-paced best-of-seven gauntlet, mixing Push, Control, and Clash maps into one competition. Between rounds, you can use stadium cash to buy items for your chosen hero to supplement their health, ultimate charge, and more. You can also equip powers for free between rounds to drastically modify each character’s abilities, adding things like lava trails to Reinhardt’s Firestrike.
