Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 has retained most of its seasonal events in the game's modern-day form, but one event never made a return in 2023 -- though we're hopeful it will in 2024.

I think a lot about games and gaming moments.

With Season 6 and Invasion bringing so much new content to Overwatch 2 -- new play modes, new maps, new hero, new PVE missions, new battle pass -- a small but important feature may have slipped off your radar: the dev team is bringing back permanent account progression.

On August 10 the new Support Hero Illari joined the burgeoning Overwatch 2 roster.

Season 6 of Overwatch 2 has more new content than any season before it, with a jam-packed battle pass with a theme that matches the new Invasion PVE narrative missions.

Big updates are on the horizon when Overwatch 2 begins its sixth season -- the shooter is introducing multiple new modes, playstyles, and maps when Season 6 kicks off.

Starting July 25, Mischief and Magic is a new official Arcade mode coming to Overwatch 2.

The Summer Games Event in Overwatch 2 is only around for a little longer, so make sure you earn the rewards you want before they go away.

The upcoming Season 6, called Invasion, is going to introduce a series of story missions to Overwatch 2 which follows up on the narrative threads introduced in the painfully excellent Zero Hour trailer we first saw at 2019's BlizzCon.

Today marks the start of a new season in Overwatch 2, and the team is shaking up its usual approach to seasons with Season 5, which is live right now.
