Summary
Overwatch 2is extending the duration of No Limits in Overwatch: Classic through November 18, giving players more time to experience the original FPS as it was at launch. For the rest of the first week of theOverwatch 2event, fans can field six Winstons, Widowmakers, or any other crazy team comps with no limitations on hero selection.
On November 12,Overwatch 2began Overwatch: Classic, a limited-time event that brings heroes back to how they were in 2016, featuring classic game modes and maps no longer in the normal rotation. The event is set to run through December 6, but the first few days of the game mode would be No Limits, meaning any number of players on a team could choose the same character.
Now,Overwatch 2is extending this extra-chaotic section of the event by a few days. Though No Limits was originally only going to be available for three days, Blizzard has decided to extend this Overwatch: Classic ruleset through the end of the first week due to popular demand.No Limits will now be active in Overwatch: Classicthrough November 18, rather than ending on November 14 as was originally intended.
New Overwatch: Classic No Limits End Date
Once No Limits is over, Overwatch: Classic will impose a one-hero limit for each team. This means players who want to field the six-Winston “Gorilla Warfare” comp, the six-Symmetra “Carwash” strat, or any other meme teams using multiple instances ofthe originalOverwatch 1character kitswill need to do so before November 19. Role queue will still not be enforced for the last two weeks, however, so fans can still experiment with more than two tanks or support heroes on a team.
Fan reception seems to be mixed in regard to the No Limits extension, with some saying “no one asked for this” alongside comments praising Blizzard for keeping the chaotic fun going over the weekend. WhileOverwatch: Classic isn’t exactly likeOverwatch 1, it has certainly proven to be as nostalgic as it has been divisive. Regardless of personal opinion, Overwatch: Classic has highlighted how much the game has changed over the last eight years.
Though Overwatch: Classic ends on December 2, it won’t be the only time it comes around.Overwatch 2plans to bring back the limited-time event in the future, possibly covering other popular time periods inOverwatchhistory – and potentially even alpha and beta builds. What’s more,Overwatch 2fans still have the upcoming 6v6 teststo look forward to, so there will be plenty of ways to engage in 12-player games in the near future.
