Overwatch 2 was first showcased during Blizzcon back in 2019, but since then details about its launch have been scarce. In this article, we will discuss everything expected from Overwatch 2 including its 5v5 switch, tank changes, maps, and much more.
The first installment in the franchise is among the world’s most-played FPS titles. Filled with exciting characters, beautiful maps, and a vibrant esports scene, the FPS title has cemented its place in the gaming community. Let’s dive into the details:
Overwatch 2 is slated to launch on October 4 this year. However, players should note that this initial launch will focus completely on PvP, although the title will be free-to-play. Since the announcement of the game, Blizzard had remained mum about a concrete launch date. However, that has changed since the confirmation arrived during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 event.

Just like its predecessor, players will be able to enjoy Overwatch 2 on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. These platforms include the recent PS5 and Xbox XS Series as well. Speaking of crossplay, the game will allow players playing together on all platforms, and it will allow for cross-progression too.
When it comes to the latest entry in the franchise, players have seen a host of new features shown over the past few years. There will be a ‘talents’ progression system, where players can upgrade each hero’s abilities and power as they play co-op missions. This is similar to the Heroes of the Storm style approach, and it’s something a lot of Overwatch players wanted to see in the game.
