Log in today to play as the recently unveiled support hero
Kiriko: a fierce protector with a heart of gold. She joins
tank hero Junker Queen and damage hero Sojourn as
three game-changing women rounding out a playable roster that now
includes 35 heroes. And what’s a new era without a new look and
feel? Going live today are updated appearances for every hero,
numerous hero ability kit reworks, a new five-versus-five
multiplayer format, six new maps, the new Push game mode, a new
ping system, a redesigned competitive mode, and more—all
experienced through updated graphics and audio engines.
Additionally, the diverse cast of characters has never felt more
alive, with over 40,000 new voice lines in the game.
Overwatch 2 launches today with an all-new item shop replacing
the previous Loot Box system, a free Battle Pass for all players,
and a purchasable Premium Battle Pass for each season. Both
versions of the Battle Pass deliver a slew of features for players
to enhance their Overwatch 2 experience and will add new heroes at
periodic intervals after the first two seasons.
The Premium Battle Pass, which provides instant access when new
heroes are added in addition to other benefits, is priced at 1,000
Overwatch Coins per season (equivalent of $10 USD), unlocking
in-game skins and other content. All players will have the ability
to earn Overwatch Coins at no cost through in-game challenges each
season, which can be saved up and used to purchase a Premium Battle
Pass or other items available in the shop.
Season One, now live, features cyber punk-themed items for both
the free and paid Battle Pass tracks: skins, emotes, victory poses,
highlight intros, player icons, weapon charms, sprays, voice lines,
and more. The Season One Premium Battle Pass includes the first
ever Mythic skin—a customizable skin tier new for Overwatch 2—for
Genji.
Season Two will feature a new to-be-announced tank hero and new
map. Seasons are planned to roll over every nine weeks, each
complete with a unique theme and brand-new collectibles with which
players can customize and personalize their Overwatch 2
experience.
Development work is taking place on the much-anticipated
Overwatch 2 PvE mode, which is expected to begin rolling out
next year; release plans will be announced at a later date.
“Today is a massive new beginning for the Overwatch community,
and we can’t wait for them to experience not only everything going
live now, but everything coming in the months and years ahead,”
said Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re also
excited to welcome new heroes all around the world, across PC and
console, into the bright and hopeful vision of the future that this
game universe has always represented.”
Further details about the wide variety of new game elements that
will be added each season are available at PlayOverwatch.com.
