As a seasoned Overwatch 2 player with countless hours spent exploring every nook and cranny of its maps, I breathed a sigh of relief when I learned that the beloved duck floaty in Circuit Royal would not be disappearing from our favorite game. It’s these little details that make the experience so rich and immersive, transforming what could just be another FPS into a world we can’t help but get lost in.


In the new Overwatch 2 trailer, some viewers speculated that a floating duck on Circuit Royal map might have been taken out. However, it’s good news for fans as the playful duck floaty will persist in Overwatch 2, bringing joy to gamers just as before.

Although it’s packed with intense action, Overwatch 2 isn’t shy about showcasing its humorous side and frequently hides various secrets or hidden spots for players to uncover. These little surprises are often tucked away in the game’s different maps and offer additional lore, a fresh location to explore, or a new plaything for gamers. Recently, an Overwatch 2 player stumbled upon a concealed room within Hanaoka, the map inspired by Hanamura that was reintroduced during Season 10. Just like other hidden aspects of the game, players develop a strong connection to these secrets, which is why there’s concern when elements like Circuit Royal’s floating duck seem to vanish from their designated areas.

The official Twitter account of Overwatch 2 reassured fans that the floating duck character will remain in the game following concerns raised by some players after noticing its absence in the trailer for Season 13. In the preview, various maps were shown to be receiving updates with the new patch, but one observant Twitter user, LilyDotOW2, noticed the duck was missing from Circuit Royal’s pool and expressed worry. Overwatch 2 later confirmed that the floating duck is indeed still present in the game, after verifying its whereabouts with their designated “duck expert.

Prepare for an array of scary themes, cosmetics, and limited-time gameplay during Season 13’s launch on October 15.

In the upcoming season 13 of Overwatch 2, we’ll see the official integration of the My Hero Academia crossover, similar to previous collaborations. This means that players can expect a variety of My Hero Academia themed cosmetics, some available in the shop and potentially in the battle pass as well. The crossover kicks off on October 17, which is a few days after the commencement of season 13 in Overwatch 2.
