From changes to multiple heroes to the arrival of a new one, the upcoming update isn’t short on content.

If we look at how past seasons were rolled out, Season 2.5 looks likely to release around May 30, 2025.
Season 1 dropped on January 10, and its mid-season patch (1.5) arrived six weeks after that. Then Season 2 followed seven weeks later. Now with in-game events wrapping up by the end of May, it’s a safe guess that this is when the mid-season content will be dropping. This also includes the Galacta’s Gift Event & Season 0 Battle Pass Return.
Players should expect balance updates for several heroes in the game. As per what the developers shared recently, a list of characters will be undergoing changes to improve how they perform in the current meta. Here’s who’s getting looked at:
These changes will probably help in making these heroes more balanced in competitive matches, though we don’t know exactly what will be changed for each.
A big highlight from recent trailers and leaks points toward Ultron being the new addition to the roster. He appears in the official teaser and, according to leaks that started spreading in March, Ultron is expected to be introduced as a new Strategist-class hero.
