Overwatch: Classic is Extending No Limits

Key Takeaways

  • The No Limits mode in Overwatch: Classic is extended to November 18 due to popular demand.
  • Fans can enjoy unrestricted hero selections for meme team comps until the end of the first week.
  • One-hero limit in Overwatch: Classic begins November 19 after the end of No Limits.

As a longtime Overwatch fanatic who has witnessed the evolution of this game since its inception, I must say that I am thrilled with Blizzard’s decision to extend the No Limits mode in Overwatch: Classic until November 18. This extension allows me and other fans more time to indulge in the chaotic, meme-worthy team comps that harken back to the game’s early days.

In simpler terms, “Overwatch 2” is prolonging the “No Limits” mode in the original “Overwatch” until November 18, enabling players to enjoy the first-person shooter game as it was initially released for a longer period. During the initial week of the “Overwatch 2” event, enthusiasts can create teams with multiple Winstons, Widowmakers, or any unusual team compositions without restrictions on character selection.

Starting November 12th, Overwatch 2 introduced a special, time-limited event called “Overwatch: Classic,” which takes the game back to its original state as it was in 2016. This includes classic game modes and maps that are no longer part of the regular rotation. The event will continue until December 6th, but from November 12th to some point, there will be a mode called “No Limits,” where any number of players on a team can pick the same character without restrictions.

Starting from now, Overwatch 2 is extending the high-energy part of the event for a few additional days. Initially planned for just three days, Blizzard has chosen to prolong the Overwatch: Classic ruleset until the end of the first week, thanks to popular interest. Instead of concluding on November 14 as initially scheduled, the No Limits mode will continue in Overwatch: Classic up until November 18.

New Overwatch: Classic No Limits End Date

  • Monday, November 18, 2024

After the conclusion of No Limits, Overwatch: Classic will restrict each team to only one hero starting from November 19th. If players have been enjoying the six-Winston “Gorilla Warfare” composition, six-Symmetra “Carwash” strategy, or any other teams featuring multiple instances of characters from the original Overwatch 1, they should plan to do so before this date. During the final two weeks, role queue will not be enforced, allowing fans to continue exploring team compositions with more than two tanks or support heroes.

The response towards the No Limits extension appears split, with some expressing “it wasn’t requested” while others appreciate Blizzard for maintaining the thrilling mayhem during the weekend. Though Overwatch: Classic isn’t an exact replica of Overwatch 1, it has undeniably stirred up a wave of nostalgia and controversy in equal measure. Despite individual preferences, Overwatch: Classic serves as a reminder of how significantly the game has evolved over the past eight years.

Although Overwatch: Classic concludes on December 2, it’s not a one-time affair. Overwatch 2 intends to reintroduce the limited-time event at some point, possibly exploring other significant eras from the Overwatch universe – and maybe even early versions like the alpha and beta builds. Additionally, Overwatch 2 enthusiasts can anticipate upcoming 6v6 tests, ensuring that there will be ample opportunities for 12-player gaming experiences in the not-so-distant future.
