Summary
Overwatch 2has clarified the upcoming changes to the Circuit Royal map after a video clip of the new season’s trailer made it seem as though the duck floaty from the pool was removed. Thankfully, the little duck floaty will still remain inOverwatch 2and continue to delight players.
Despite being an action-packed FPS,Overwatch 2can lean into its less serious side and often includes a ton of secrets or hidden places within the game for its players to scout out. These tidbits of extra fun are usually found within the various maps ofOverwatch 2and provide some extra lore, a fun new place to explore, or a new toy for gamers to play with. Earlier this year, anOverwatch 2player discovered a hidden room in Hanaoka, the Hanamura-inspired map added back in Season 10. As with any extra bit of the game, players become extremely attached to these secrets, hence the concern when Circuit Royal’s duck floaty was seemingly missing from its pool.
Overwatch 2’s official Twitter confirmed that this duck floaty is not being removed from the game, much to the fan base’s relief. In the trailer thatrevealed the details forOverwatch 2’s upcoming Season 13, several maps were shown and appeared to be getting some updates in the new patch. When Circuit Royal was shown, the duck floaty was missing from the pool and eagle-eyed Twitter user LilyDotOW2 pointed it out with much concern. In response,Overwatch 2clarified that the floaty is in fact still there, as they had their “duck expert” double-check.
