Various leakers believe that a beta for Overwatch 2 will soon be announced and will launch in March 2022. The game was first announced back in 2019, but since then little has been officially revealed about the successor to Blizzard Entertainment's popular team-based hero shooter. While Blizzard delayed Overwatch 2in November 2021, both the cartoonish title's original and new release dates remain unknown.
Expanding upon the first game,Overwatch 2 is expected to redesign the franchise's characters and redefine its gameplay. Major balance changes will be made in the sequel, with a switch to five-player teams rather than six-player teams being perhaps the biggest difference. Overwatch 2 will also tweak characters' appearances and in-game abilities, resulting in new strategies and tactics. PvE modes, where a group of players cooperate to take down hordes of computer-controlled enemies, will also be a large part of Overwatch 2. The project has reportedly experienced a troubled production, including the departure of its director and executive producer, but Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard game studios may help breathe new life into the game.
