More details on Overwatch 2 are coming, which will hopefully answer many of the lingering questions about the game. In the meantime, here's everything we know.
Overwatch 2‘s rumored 2020 release date has come and gone, and players still don’t have the sequel in their hands. Announced at BlizzCon 2019, Blizzard has slowly released details about Overwatch 2, including showing off concept art for new maps and letting players try out the game in beta.
Given that Overwatch was released simultaneously on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2016, Overwatch 2 will likely launch on PC and consoles on the same day. We also learned that it will come to current-generation systems, the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, at the same time. The release date reveal trailer came during the Xbox and Bethesda showcase in 2022 and shows a little montage of some existing heroes looking stoic before some action shots, including the new heroes Sojourn and Junk Queen. This is also where we learned that the game would now be free for the first time with the main new bit of information being the early access launch of October 4, 2022.
This centralized approach also affects cosmetics. All of your cosmetics from the first game will transfer to Overwatch 2. Although Blizzard isn’t releasing any new heroes for the base game until the sequel launches, the cosmetic factory is still in full swing. Even now, you can rest assured that if you earn rewards from loot boxes, you’ll have them in Overwatch 2.
In a very controversial move, especially in the competitive scene, Blizzard has chosen to change one of the core dynamics of Overwatch in the sequel by reducing team sizes from six players to just five. The game’s director, Aaron Keller, claims this change was to help simplify the game that can have “a lot going on” and make it easier for players to know what’s happening and what they should be doing. During a livestream, Keller said, “Overwatch has changed over time.
Finally, besides just the addition of new maps to keep things fresh, Overwatch 2‘s maps will also include a system called Environment States. This will give maps a new feel each time you play by implementing different weather effects and times of the day. That means one match may see you playing a certain map during the night, another during a snowstorm, or a desert map during a sandstorm.
