Blizzard has disclosed substantial modifications to the Flashpoint game mode in Overwatch 2, which will be rolled out in the mid-season patch of Season 17. These updates include reworks of key maps to better align with the gameplay changes.

Flashpoint debuted in Season 6 of Overwatch 2, where players capture three points on the map, akin to Call of Duty’s Hardpoint mode. Initially, it included three maps: New Junk City, Suravasa, and the freshly introduced Aatlis. The upcoming patch will enhance the gameplay dynamics, as Blizzard aims to create a more engaging and competitive experience.

Upcoming Map Changes

Blizzard has actively sought community feedback regarding potential improvements for Flashpoint as 2025 progresses. The developers plan significant enhancements, focusing on ensuring that the maps are navigable and enjoyable to play on.

Specific Changes Include:

• New Junk City: Improvements across control points to enhance gameplay flow, reducing spawn runbacks and redesigning significant areas for better access.
• Suravasa: Simplifying structures and lowering obstructions to improve visual clarity and promote easier navigation for players.

Blizzard emphasizes that these changes aim to make objective play dynamic, with more cover options and revised pathways to foster strategic gameplay.

Further details regarding these modifications and the complete mid-season update will be released soon.
