Overwatch 2 PVP Beta Impressions - A Little Too Familiar, But Still Great Fun
Blizzard revealed that Overwatch 2 was going free-to-play at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase in June. They described the game as an “always-evolving live service”, but didn’t explain at the time what players would have to fork out for. There’s beenspeculationsince that access to new characters would be locked behind a paywall, similar to Fortnite. In response to a question about players potentially missing out on heroes if they weren’t unlocked during a given season, Spector clarified that more opportunities to obtain heroes will come up. “We will have free paths to get new heroes in future seasons too,” Spectorsaid.

Ed struggled to find the sequel bit in Overwatch 2 when he played thesecond open betaback in July, but felt it was a faster game. “Holding the frontline as Junker Queen is a joy, so I’ve got no qualms with her being a part of the roster,” he said. “But there’s a sense that the old guard can’t keep up with her and the rest of Overwatch 2’s new wave of hostile heroes. Reinhardt and Winston and Cassidy are still fun to play but they’re forever tied to the game’s original, slower paced design philosophy.”
Overwatch 2 launches on October 4th, and will be free-to-play. It’ll be available on Blizzard’s Battle.net launcher.
