DOCS / GAMES / OVERWATCH 2

Overwatch 2 coverage. Coming soon.

Overwatch 2 is seeded in the catalogue at /v1/games/ow2 with status: coming_soon. Fixtures, results and brackets flip on when the game goes live — OWCS regional stages, the OWWC nations, OWL legacy and the Esports World Cup OW2 stop all land under the same game=ow2 filter.

Coming-soon games still return a real catalogue row at /v1/games/ow2; the status field is the source of truth for what is live. Fixture and match endpoints return 200 + an empty data array with a meta.note until the cutover.

Capability flags

OW2 will launch with fixtures, results and brackets. match_stats (per-map eliminations, healing, ult economy) is coming soon. Asking for a capability that isn’t live yet returns 200 with meta.note rather than 402, so the omission is visible without becoming a billing error.

Catalogue

The OW2 catalogue indexes the in-game objects referenced in fixtures and match prose:

heroes — the playable cast (Tracer, Reinhardt, Mercy, …)
maps — the rotating pool (Hanamura, King’s Row, Ilios, …)
roles — tank, damage and support (the 5v5 role-queue structure)
modes — Control, Escort, Hybrid, Push, Flashpoint

Watch this space

/v1/games is the canonical view — read it once at startup (or poll it) to discover when OW2 flips to live.

Attribution

OW2 reference data is sourced from Liquipedia contributors. Every response will include a meta.sources array with article URLs and licence — same hard rule as the live games, set out in our Attribution Policy.
