What's new in Overwatch 2?
Overwatch 2 has a ton of new features that have been added to the game to make the player experience better. Here are all the new features in Overwatch 2:
New Map: Push
- In Push, a new, symmetrical map type that will launch with Overwatch 2, teams battle to take control of a robot that begins in a central location, then push it toward the enemy base. Either team may take control of the robot at any time. The team that pushes the robot furthest onto the enemy side wins the game.
Constantly Evolving Multiplayer
- A Bigger World: Take the battle to new, iconic international locations, from the colourful streets of Rio de Janeiro to the scenic splendour of Gothenburg.
- New Faces: Overwatch 2 will add new heroes to the roster, shaking up competitive play and creating opportunities for bold new strategies.
Action-Packed Story Missions
- Play an active role in the next chapter of the Overwatch saga through a series of intense four-player missions. Fight back against Null Sector, uncover the motives behind the omnic attacks, and confront a rising wave of new threats.
Replayable Hero Missions
- The battle continues with Hero Missions. As escalating crises break out around the world, encounter an ever-changing array of scenarios with a range of diverse and dangerous enemies. Level up the favourite heroes and earn powerful customization options to help beat the odds.
New Factions Arise
- It’s up to the player and their friends to stop Null Sector, the elite forces of Talon, and other enemies of Overwatch from carrying out their plans. Each enemy faction features a unique mix of units with their own strategies and strengths, challenging the player to adapt their approach every time they play.
A Visual Evolution
- Overwatch 2 evolves the look and feel of the world, with more dynamic environments, larger-scale battles, additional in-game storytelling events, and improved atmospheric effects and shadows. Heroes in Overwatch 2 will also have a brand-new look, with greater detail and higher fidelity.
