Overwatch 2 Making Controversial Change to New Heroes
Overwatch 2 will be making a controversial change to how players unlock new heroes, as they will now be featured on the free track of the Battle Pass. Overwatch 2, like the original Overwatch before it, will be adding new heroes to keep things fresh. When Overwatch 2 launches in early access on October 4, fans of Blizzard's hero-shooter can expect three new heroes to join the roster: Damage hero Sojourn, Tank hero Junker Queen, and a new Support hero who has yet to be revealed in an official capacity.
