Blizzard has finally announced Overwatch 2, the next iteration comes with all-new maps, heroes and modes, including player-versus-environment modes and a new player-versus-player mode called “Push.”
Blizzard revealed some Overwatch 2 gameplay, which included co-op hero missions, leveling up heroes with talents, customizing abilities and new PvP modes like “Push.” Settings included Ilios, Route 66, Busan and Paris, plus some new maps like Toronto.
“Overwatch 2 will feature a ton of PvE content. We will have a complete story experience, featuring story missions,” said game director Jeff Kaplan. The first is set in Rio de Janiero. There will also be progression-based hero missions, which Kaplan said is like Diablo’s adventure mode.
Another surprise: “Every one of the 31 heroes, plus more, are getting an upgraded look to them,” Kaplan added. New heroes were officially announced, too, like Sojourn, who appears to be the game’s first black female hero.
