Second Overwatch 2 beta on the way with new content expected – is Junker Queen coming?

techradar.com:

Overwatch 2's PvP beta has ended, pushing players back into the void of Overwatch 1 for a while. However, developer Blizzard has teased a new event for June, meaning we shouldn't be waiting too long before we can hop back into the sequel. 

Now that it's over, the Overwatch 2 beta appears to have been a fairly big success, with the game reaching 1.5 million concurrent viewers on Twitch as part of a beta key giveaway. While numbers dropped off as time went on, it's clear there's interest in what Overwatch 2 is bringing to the table. 

However, with the beta closed, players are now wondering, what's next? Thankfully, the devs have given a date for when we will know more. 

In a post on Blizzard's website, the development team said: «We’ve been both humbled and inspired by the amount of interest and enthusiasm everyone has shown for Overwatch 2, and we can’t wait to share more with you about what comes next. Save the date for an Overwatch 2 Event on June 16!»

In an official Overwatch Tweet, it was elaborated that we'll learn what's coming in the «months ahead» during the event, suggesting we may get a longer-term view of how the beta periods will work.

With the event announced, questions now turn to what's likely coming in the next beta phase. While nothing's been confirmed, there are a few things that we know about which weren't included in the first Overwatch 2 beta. 

It seems likely we'll get at least another map or two, and it seems like Rio De Janeiro is a prime candidate. The map was shown off in a 2021 PvP Livestream but was conspicuously absent from the first beta. The Escourt map seems likely to be included, too, and it's totally possible we'll see another, yet-to-be-announced map. 

I also hope we get a new hero to play
