October is lastly right here, and subsequent week will see the launch for Overwatch 2, free to play for all main consoles. Forward of launch although, Blizzard has launched a brand new trailer showcasing the entire issues we must always anticipate from this highly-anticipated sequel.
Watch this:
Although plenty of the core components of the unique Overwatch might be saved for the sequel, we must always nonetheless anticipate a number of modifications with the sport, together with a change within the variety of group members in addition to reworks for some basic characters.
Talking of characters, we’re additionally getting some new faces within the type of heroes Sojourn, Junker Queen, and Kiriko. Whereas Sojourn and Kiriko might be accessible at launch totally free, Kiriko will solely come free to gamers who already personal the primary iteration of Overwatch.
Admittedly, there’s plenty of strain for Blizzard to ship with this sequel. Not solely has the sport been overvalued for therefore a few years, however followers are beginning to really feel sceptical in regards to the launch ever since sport director Jeff Kaplan left the studio. That’s not even mentioning all of the controversy that’s been surrounding Blizzard the previous few months; from the supposed ‘frat boy tradition’ of the studio heads to one thing referred to as a ‘Cosby Room.’
Both method, I’m selecting to be optimistic in regards to the launch. I’m positive there’s nonetheless plenty of love that went into the event of the sport, and I’m hopeful this may put OW again on high of the hero shooter style.
Overwatch 2 launches for PlayStation 4|5, PC, Nintendo Change, Xbox One, and Xbox Sequence X|S this Oct. 4.
