BlizzCon (which essentially has been transformed into an online event) might have Blizzard drop the next Overwatch’s beta.

„Overwatch 2 release news! Rumours of the next Overwatch League season being delayed until April to make sure they can launch with Overwatch 2 suggest that the expected beta or even full release of the game around Blizzcon in February 2021 is very likely!”, Metro wrote on Twitter. He also talked about the game before it was announced.

Overwatch 2, which was announced almost a year ago, will have a new PvE mode, as well as a multiplayer that connects with the first game to have the player base under one banner without dividing them (even though this game knocked out Boss Key Productions’ Lawbreakers and Gearbox’ Battleborn, respectively). „New map type – Push: In Push, a new, symmetrical map type that will launch with Overwatch 2, teams battle to take control of a robot that begins in a central location, then push it toward the enemy base. Either team may take control of the robot at any time. The team that pushes the robot furthest onto the enemy side wins the game.

Ever-evolving multiplayer – a bigger world: Take the battle to new, iconic international locations, from the colourful streets of Rio de Janeiro to the scenic splendour of Gothenburg. New Faces: Overwatch 2 will add new heroes to the roster, shaking up competitive play and creating opportunities for bold new strategies. Action-packed story missions: play an active role in the next chapter of the Overwatch saga through a series of intense four-player missions. Fight back against Null Sector, uncover the motives behind the omnic attacks, and confront a rising wave of new threats,” Blizzard’s press release says.

Overwatch 2 was announced for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. If it does launch in the first half of 2021, we wouldn’t rule out a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S version. (The same goes for Diablo IV.)
