Stadium Endorsements
Big changes are coming to Overwatch 2 Stadium with the arrival of Season 18, introducing endorsements and fresh heroes among other features. Players can look forward to enhanced recognition systems designed to reward positive behavior and teamwork.
The recent director's announcement has outlined the next wave of in-game updates, confirming that these improvements are set for rollout in the upcoming season. This development marks a significant step forward for the Stadium experience and player interaction in Overwatch 2.
Endorsements in Overwatch 2 Stadium Mode
Players have noticed the absence of endorsements in the Stadium mode, which differs from most other Overwatch 2 game types. In Unranked and Competitive modes, endorsements are available after each match, allowing players to commend teammates or opponents for positive behavior. This feature encourages good sportsmanship and gives players a way to earn higher endorsement levels.
Common Player Reactions:
- Some players express disappointment at not being able to give or receive endorsements in Stadium.
- Discussions on community forums include questions about whether the lack of endorsements is intentional or due to a technical issue.
Key Points:
- Endorsements are currently not active in Stadium mode.
- The system is a familiar part of Overwatch 2 for recognizing positive player conduct.
A recent developer update confirmed that this is not a technical issue. Endorsements for Stadium mode are planned to be implemented in Season 18.
New Overwatch 2 Stadium maps and features to arrive later
Upcoming updates for Overwatch 2 Stadium will bring several additions to keep gameplay fresh. A mid-season patch is expected to introduce Freja to the Stadium lineup, expanding hero choices for players. Season 17 will launch new maps, including Esperança and Samoa, offering different environments and strategies.
New Features Coming Soon:
- Share and save custom Stadium builds
- Support for custom Stadium games
- Additional map options
These planned updates are set to enhance the Stadium experience with more flexibility and creative gameplay options.
