Latest Overwatch 2 Season 20 Release Time And Roadmap 2025

Vendetta, Stadium overhauls, new Mythics, and more.

Overwatch 2 has been killing it for a while now, but its latest two updates have, admittedly, been on the smaller side, especially if you're not a fan of Stadium (how dare you). Luckily, OW2 Season 20 is on the horizon, and it's time for another new hero—it's hard to get more exciting than that.

We're not just getting a new character, of course, though Season 20 is, I hate to say it, another oddly small update. Stadium fans like myself certainly have the better deal, too. Below, I'll go over when you can play Overwatch 2 Season 20, and everything you can expect to sink your teeth into.

OW2 Season 20 begins on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 11 am PT / 2 pm EST / 7 pm GMT, which coincides with the usual update time for the game in your region. You'll be able to preload this update on PC and now console, too, thanks to a recent change.

Most importantly, yes, Vendetta launches alongside the Season 20 update on December 9, and she'll be available in all modes right away due to players having an early hands-on during the Vendetta hero trial at the end of November. If you're coming back to Overwatch 2 after a long time away, you no longer have to wait for new heroes to become available in competitive.

So, who's Vendetta? Also known as La Lupa, this gladiator is a DPS and the first true melee character in Overwatch. Given her very aggressive playstyle and design, it's easy to fall into the trap of playing like you're a dive or brawl tank, but that couldn't be further from the truth. You need to play smart and alongside key teammates like Wuyang and Zarya to stay alive and slay out as Vendetta.

Here are all of Vendetta's abilities and passive effect:
