Runasapi is set in Peru, which likely means there are going to be some teasers about support hero Ilari&#8217;s backstory to be found in the environment. Colosseo, one of the existing Push maps, will also be getting a revamp in Season 11. The latest <a href=\"https:\/\/overwatch.blizzard.com\/en-us\/news\/24062312\/developer-update-hero-releases-mythics-and-gameplay-updates\/\">developer update<\/a> suggests that tweaks could be forthcoming for several other maps &#8212; Dorado, Circuit Royale, Havana, and Numbani &#8212; but it didn&#8217;t give a specific timeline for when those changes would be rolling out.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of gameplay events, Season 11 kicks off with a Community Crafted mode, featuring tuning from several notable community members. This mode will be in the Arcade until July 9. <a href=\"https:\/\/overwatch.blizzard.com\/en-us\/news\/24021898\/this-weekend-only-jump-into-quick-play-hacked-quicker-play\/\">Quick Play: Hacked<\/a> will also return in Season 11. Though we don&#8217;t have exact details on this yet, it seems like the play will be quite different from last time&#8217;s Hacked twist. Soldier: 76 and Kiriko join the roster of Heroes who have a Hero Mastery course, though it&#8217;s unclear exactly when these will roll out. Season 11 will include the Summer Games event, so fans of Lucioball and Winston&#8217;s Beach Volleyball have plenty to look forward to, including some new Lifeguard skins to really complete the theme.<\/p>\n<p>Also occurring during Season 11 is the <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/2024\/06\/13\/pink-mercy-bcrf-rose-gold\/\">BCRF charity skin sale<\/a> for Pink Mercy and Rose Gold Mercy. These skins aren&#8217;t really tied to Season 11 per se, but they&#8217;re so coveted &#8212; and it&#8217;s available for such a short time &#8212; that it really bears repeating.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published April 23, 2024.
