The reaction to the sudden delay has been met with mixed feelings from the Overwatch 2 community. Some players expressed sadness over having to wait to play Venture, the new hero. Others, however, applauded the developers for giving employees a break.

What's Coming in Season 10?
Overwatch 2 Season 10 includes a few important changes for players. The first is the addition of Venture, the first new DPS hero to join the roster since Sojourn. First announced at BlizzCon 2023, Venture tunnels underground and attacks by leaping out of the ground.
Another change is coming to competitive in the form of Competitive Currency that can be used to buy Golden Weapons. Game Director Aaron Keller previously said this change would happen when Season 10 arrives.
In addition, there will no longer be grouping restrictions. This means that five-stacks can play competitive games together even if their ranks are completely different from one another.
