December 4, 2024 Patch is a minor content patch in Overwatch 2, featuring the new Quick Play: Hacked mode, Kingmaker.
Kingmaker[]
In Quick Play Hacked - Kingmaker, you'll crown your team’s champion in a new twist from the previous Limit 2 experiment where the lone player in their role earns bonus powers to dominate the match. Experiment with new compositions while leveraging the Kingmaker system to give every role a chance to shine, even in unconventional lineups. You'll want to be strategic in your role picks, as roles are locked at the start of each round, but switching roles mid-match can unlock game-changing potential.
- Kingmaker will be in its own playable mode outside of Role Queue and Open Queue in the Unranked menu.
- Players select roles in a first-come, first-served setup, with only two players per role (Tank, Damage, Support).
- Once a role is capped at two players, it’s locked for the remaining team members.
- You cannot switch roles during gameplay, but can switch between rounds for the Control game mode.
- Whichever role has only a single hero, that hero will receive an extra bonus effect and will be to all players in the match.
- This experimental mode runs through December 8.
