Overwatch 2

As Blizzard prepares to launch Overwatch 2 won't have loot boxes, and as Blizzard prepares for the game to launch on October 4, some changes need to be made to the current game to help ease the transition to a world without loot boxes.

Last year, Overwatch got a limited form of cross-play, which let you play the game with friends on other platforms (with a host of limitations) — but now the game's cross-platform features are getting a boost with cross-progression.

Tank players have a lot of change coming when Overwatch 2 officially launches, and one of the best changes is the addition of the new hero, Junker Queen.

Even though we now know Overwatch 2's PVP mode is launching on October 4, the beta test is still a hot ticket. The next round of PVP beta testing started today, June 28, 2022, but you'll still have to sign up to have the opportunity to jump in to the game early.

New content has been scarce in Overwatch 1, so Overwatch 2 is coming out of the gate with big promises for a steady schedule of content releases.

We've been waiting for it for a very long time, but now we finally know: Overwatch 2 releases on October 4, just a few months away.

Video games are full of real-life references -- some of them are more overt, like WoW's Floyd Pinkus, while others are a little less obvious, like a license plate on a car or a background piece of artwork that reference something a little more niche.

It's the little details that really bring Overwatch maps to life, and Overwach 2's initial batch of new maps are no exception.

With the Overwatch 2 beta arriving on April 26, we've been introduced to Sojourn—the first new character added to Overwatch in 2 years.

Having watched a lot of competitive Overwatch League play, I had a few thoughts on the introduction of a ping system in Overwatch 2, which will allow players to "ping" the map to organize without relying on voice chat.
