6v6 teams in Overwatch: Classic

6v6 games have been a hot topic for Overwatch 2 since the sequel replaced the original game and introduced a 5v5 format. The debate over which form of gameplay is better remains, as it has for years, split down the middle. Luckily for fans of the classic OverwatchThis nostalgic event will feature 6v6 teams.

A return to the 6v6 format in Overwatch 2 was on the table for some time now, but the game's official website detailing this event confirms that this is not the format's swansong. Season 14, which starts on December 10th, will see 6v6 testing come into play. Test modes for 6v6 will begin on December 17th, helping Blizzard gauge fan interest. On the other hand, Overwatch: Classic merely brings back the 6v6 format to recapture the original gameplay loop Overwatch in 2016 – as opposed to being a definitive answer to fan demand.
