For the first couple of years, Overwatch was unstoppable. Each new hero was a major event, hyped up with months of speculation as players tried to guess who was coming our way next by digging into the game’s files or drawing from small clues left behind by Jeff Kaplan and friends. Sombra, Doomfist, Orisa, Ashe, Ana, Moira, and Brigitte were all big deals, igniting imagination across the fandom with how their relationships intertwined with the existing roster and how their position in the narrative would come to play an important role.

In a landscape filled with gruff military dudes and futuristic warfare emerged a bright, colourful, diverse, and experimental game that pushed the genre forward and tried new things in fresh, exciting ways. Each match was fast and rewarding, while its sprawling cast of heroes all connected with players and meant something to them. It was evolutionary, but this innovation would bring with it some irksome industry trends and a complacency that would see Blizzard transform into a company that is now widely despised. How things change.

Blizzard's Overwatch 2 video showcase also contains some details that are easy to miss on top of these new announcements. Like everything else shown in the video, these details are subject to change, but some give players a few ideas for what to expect in the seq

If you’re not intimately familiar with Overwatch, it might be hard to tell Overwatch 2 is even a different game. It has a few new characters and some new maps, a new game mode called Push, plus some subtle character redesigns, but it's largely the same game it's always been. But if you’ve been an active Overwatch player, a lot of the subtle changes have actually made a pretty big differe

Throughout the nearly forty-minute showcase, Blizzard shows only up to five players on a team at a time. There’s no explicit statement regarding this choice in presentation, but it could suggest that Overwatch 2 will introduce a team size-adjustment down to five play

Overcoming the Omnic Crisis turned Overwatch into a world peacekeeping force, but soon, even the group fell to corruption. A series of investigations uncovered many skeletons in Overwatch’s closet, and the group disbanded. But with rising terrorist attacks from Talon and increasing tensions between Omnics and humans, several agents got back together and reformed Overwa

The most apparent is the team size reduction. Overwatch 2 features 5v5 battles instead of 6v6, meaning both teams have one less tank in the fight. Opinions will vary, but I think it’s obvious that this is a huge improvement. Half the number of tanks means half the number of shields, which means fights are more active and exciting. Instead of both teams poking at each other from behind cover until everyone fires off their ults, every match is a constant back and forth. Getting picks has a much greater impact, so it’s easier to coordinate pushes with your team, even if you’re only communicating non-verbally. It’s a simpler, easier to follow spectator experience, which will help the Overwatch League reach a wider audience. Resizing the teams has an effect on every aspect of the game, and it’s been overwhelmingly posit

Something reminiscent of the 3v3 elimination mode in Arcade, or a game similar to solo deathmatch, which limits players to a DPS hero to keep things relatively even, should make for a thrilling face-off. It could take place in a vast arena, which could shrink over time, and upgrades could even be implemented to reward better play in-game. The possibilities with this are endl

What Overwatch really needed was the same thing that every live-service game needs: content. While development of Overwatch 2 caused a lengthy drought in the original, Overwatch wasn’t exactly on par with the rest of the live service game market either. A new hero every few months and a rehashed holiday event just weren’t cutting it. There’s a lot of people moaning about the new seasonal model in Overwatch 2, but if they were being honest, most of them would admit Overwatch wasn’t holding their attention. The luster fell off Overwatch after a couple of years, and the quarterly cadence of a new hero or map was not going to keep Overwatch al

Investigations found a secret division called Blackwatch was involved in a series of kidnappings, torture, coercion, and assassinations. While the United Nations continued to look deeper into Overwatch’s activity, internal strife was building. Upset that Morrison received the strike-commander promotion over himself, Reyes formed his own faction among the age

Blizzard recently held its BlizzConline event, during which the company revealed a slew of new information on its upcoming games , including Overwatch 2 . While no release date or time frame was announced, the almost forty-minute video unveiled many new details about the highly anticipated hero shooter. Some exciting announcements included two new map reveals, a look at the new enemy designs, Hazard Counters and new passive role attribu
