Overwatch 2 Lifeweaver Rework Release Date

Overwatch 2's newest hero, main healer Lifeweaver, is already getting a rework. Since releasing with the launch of the game's fourth season, he's already seen substantial play as casual and competitive players adjust their strategies to his presence in order to see how he fits into the game's ever-expanding roster. Here's when the changes to Lifeweaver's kit are coming.

Lifeweaver is the latest support hero in Overwatch 2. His blossom-based abilities offer opportunities for advanced movement strategies, introducing an element of cooperative repositioning and enhanced verticality not seen on a healer since the beginning of the game's history. Though some have decried Lifeweaver's unique ability to grief teammates, he remains a unique addition to the game.

Changes are coming to Lifeweaver's abilities and controls. These changes switch around some of the keys used to activate Lifeweaver's abilities, as well as tweak some other elements of his kit. According to Overwatch director Aaron Keller, these changes will be pushed out next week.

Those already used to Lifeweaver's current kit can be rest assured that they can keep the old control scheme if they wish, though the balancing changes will obviously be mandatory for all players.
