Developers about changes in the second part of Overwatch

New heroes

Soldiers, scientists and adventurers in Overwatch will join a number of extraordinary heroes. Whether you like leading your team into battle as a tank, setting up ambushes and dealing massive damage to your enemies, or healing and buffing your allies, you're sure to find the right hero with a growing roster of new characters to come.

New multiplayer conditions

The beginning of a new era in the history of Overwatch will mark a significant change in team battles: battles will now be played in a 5v5 format. Thanks to the change in team composition, players will have an even greater impact on the outcome of matches than before, and tank characters will turn into aggressive fighters, each of which has a powerful set of abilities that allow you to turn the tide of battle. Crush your opponents by participating in dynamic battles with even more understandable and accessible rules.

New game modes

The set of available modes will be expanded, and players will find new objects, strategies and mysteries. The first new mode will be Onslaught. In this mode, teams will have to fight for control of a robot that appears in the center of a symmetrical battlefield and lead it to the enemy base.

The ever expanding universe

Fight in new corners of the world covered by PvP battles. Travel the planet, admire fantastic beauty and engage in skirmishes on the streets of famous cities like New York, Rome, Monte Carlo, Toronto and more.

Familiar faces - new abilities

Get ready to play as your favorite heroes in a new way. Experience massive changes to familiar characters like Doomfist, Orisa, Bastion and more.

And that is not all

Experience thousands of new voice lines, new story elements, stunning skins and cosmetics, a completely overhauled soundtrack, and more that take advantage of the power of the updated game engine.

The full release of Overwatch 2 is scheduled for October 4, 2022.
