Following its appearance at the Xbox/Bethesda showcase earlier this week, Blizzard has now further detailed Overwatch 2 as part of its own dedicated event. That includes its plans for the launch of the PvP mode later this year, the removal of loot boxes, a roadmap for content to come post-launch–including new PvE content–and more.
As previously announced, the PvP component of Overwatch 2 releases on October 4, 2022 as a free-to-play game. This will kick off Season 1, which will feature all of the previously confirmed content–the switch to 5v5, new characters Sojourn and Junker Queen (who was featured in a new cinematic video you can watch below), the new Push game mode, major balance changes–but also other new additions Come from Sports betting site VPbet .
