The video delivered shocking news for Overwatch 2, announcing that the game will be released earlier than anticipated on October 4 and will be free to play!

 

Overwatch 2 was set to release around 2023 but Blizzard decided to push the release earlier than expected much to everyone’s pleasant surprise.

 

Not only that, but the video also showed a peek at new heroes that will join Overwatch 2’s lineup of heroes. Sojourn, a former Overwatch member who is already playable during the first PVP beta for Overwatch 2 will be joined by two other new heroes.

 

Finally ending the stagnant lineup of heroes, the other two new heroes include a tank reigning from Junkertown and a blue mystic fox support hero teased in the Overwatch 2 Release Date Reveal video.

 

Although there hasn’t been any upcoming information for the blue spirit fox support, Blizzard has already released a cinematic trailer for the new hero – Junker Queen.

 

 

Overwatch will now officially have another hero coming from Junkertown, aside from Junk Rat and Roadhog – who is Overwatch’s classic heroes.

 

Here comes the Queen, also known as “The Wastelander” from the cinematic trailer where the Junker Queen wields a shotgun and a massive axe, named Carnage. Not to mention, she stands at 7 feet tall.

 

The Overwatch 2’s Release Date Reveal also teased redesigns for existing heroes including D.Va, Symmetra, Ashe, Ana, and Moira with fresh and new looks.
