At this year's BlizzCon event — entitled BlizzConline for its all-digital format — Blizzard released a forty-minute video dedicated to Overwatch 2 .

Overwatch is my favourite multiplayer shooter of all time, right up there with Halo 3. It’s also my favourite objective-based team game, which is why I have around 1,000 hours played in the first place.

The thing is, Overwatch doesn’t reward you for that, which means every single game quickly becomes a massive pain in the a


Basically, I don’t think a fixed, single-player campaign is going to work for Overwatch 2, if that’s what Blizzard is currently planning. On the flip side, a robust hero shooter with an emphasis on cooperative play could do phenomenally well. I’m thinking of Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer, where you get to choose a type of enemy, a map, and a difficulty.

Hollywood has shined through as one of the most favored Overwatch maps with its neat aesthetic and its insane diversity of elements. From various high-ground perches for snipers to set camp, to moving platforms, to pathways which can be exploited for cheeky flanks, this area has just about everything. The versatility and elaborate nature of Hollywood's corridors and pathways will likely make it a great choice for multiple new modes offered in Overwatch


Hell, Blizzard should already know this. World Of Warcraft has been going for over 16 years! 16 years without a sequel! Just updates and expansions. It's a business model Blizzard is already familiar with yet it still went along with making Overwatch 2. A decision I can only assume was influenced by the malevolent ruler of Activision, Bobby Kot

If you owned the original Overwatch or pick up the Watchpoint Edition of Overwatch 2 you’ll unlock all heroes right away, otherwise free-to-play users will need to play a total of 100 matches to earn the entire roster, and that doesn’t include Kiriko unless you’ve already purchased the premium version of that battle pass. That make sense? I didn’t think so.


Like with the earlier Talon and Uprising Missions you can expect to spend less time dueling fearsome foes and more time fighting off rounds of riffraff and robots. So in PvE, a mixture of crowd control, high damage and adaptability are key– sorry Reinhardt and Widowmaker mains, you might need to s
