The game was announced at BlizzCon 2019 and is a sequel to the highly popular multiplayer first-person shooter Overwatch. The upcoming game is expected to borrow heavily from the original. It will have a shared multiplayer environment between the new entry and its precursor, where previous maps, modes, and heroes will come over to Overwatch 2.

The prime feature of Overwatch 2 is a PvE mode where players can participate in cooperative play, unlock new hero skills, and gain experience. The PvE mode will also have a story mode.
