As of this writing, we have no real idea of when Overwatch 2 will release.

That being said, there is potential for the game to have a staggered release, where the PvP side of the game could be released sooner than the campaign and PvE content, although there has been no confirmation that will happen.
Blizzard Entertainment has a history of taking its time to release new titles so that they can polish and make the game as good as possible at launch. The first Overwatch took about three years to develop after seven years had been spent designing it as a very different title named Titan.
