Next week, Overwatch 2 Season 17 will officially launch with a handful of upgrades, new additions, and modifications. One of the most prominent changes will be the introduction of map voting in quick play and competitive that lets players have a voice in where their battle unfolds.
As explained on Overwatch’s official site, players will be able to choose between three randomized maps ahead of their matches. The maps aren’t simply selected by the vote, however. Instead, each vote adds a 1-in-10 chance that a map will be chosen in the final roulette style roll. Your voting picks are hidden from other players, and leaver penalties will be implemented as soon as voting starts for anyone trying to duck out early.
Blizzard also shared the launch trailer for Overwatch 2 Season 17, which has a distinctly ’80s throwback aesthetic.
