Overwatch 2 is looking for a new product marketing consultant to execute a “major feature” for the first-person shooter. Though it is hard to say exactly what this might entail, it seems like Overwatch 2 is getting ready for something big.
The future of Overwatch 2 has been a hot topic recently. Blizzard has discussed the possibility of 6v6 returning to Overwatch 2 in some form, and rumors of an upcoming mobile title have been picking up steam once again.

Overwatch 2 hides the newest Mythic weapon skin coming in Season 13 in plain sight, giving players a first look at the upcoming premium cosmetic.
Now, yet another circumstance has arisen that points towards something big on the horizon for the FPS. Blizzard recently posted a new job listing for an Overwatch 2 product marketing consultant. While this is not particularly out of the ordinary, one detail, in particular, stands out in the listing: the overarching goal for the position is to “support the marketing team with go-to-market planning and execution of a major feature for Overwatch 2.” Though there are no other details about what this feature might be, it is evidently significant enough to warrant the enlistment of specific consultants to work towards its launch.
Overwatch 2 Job Listing Confirms a "Major Feature" is in Development
This new position is responsible for market research, strategy, analysis, and coordination between the community, developers, and shareholders in regard to this secret project. The contract is listed for a six-month period on the team, implying Blizzard would want to roll out this “major feature” during that time frame, and that the position would be focused on this specific project. This means Overwatch 2 fans may learn what this future project is within the next year.
There is no telling exactly what exactly this Overwatch 2 secret could be, but there are a few things that would make sense. This project could be the rumored Overwatch 2 mobile platform port, if not an entirely new game based on the IP. Alternatively, it could be a new game mode of some sort, either related to its 6v6 tests or its all-but-canceled PvE modes. Given the listing is for what appears to be a game feature, it is likely not an Overwatch 2 animated series – especially considering the fallout between Blizzard and Netflix surrounding its previous attempt to make one.
Whatever it is, Overwatch 2 fans have a lot to look forward to right now. Season 13 only just began, but theories surrounding the identity of Overwatch 2’s Season 14 hero are already circulating. Additionally, Overwatch 2 has been working on some new technology to allow it to more rapidly implement balance changes on the fly. The FPS has not been without its problems in the past, but it seems like Overwatch 2 is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.
