Those playing the hero shooter recently experienced a patch that nerfed Soldier 76 because he was “over tuned” and buffed Roadhog to make him “more interesting, effective, and fun” to play. Overwatch 2 has been in a closed beta for a while now.

'Overwatch' Is Going Free-To-Play And 'Overwatch 2' Will Launch On ... (Forbes)

I cover all things video games and esports. Follow. Jun 12, 2022, 06:00am EDT |.

Meanwhile, the Overwatch 2 Reveal Event (as it’s officially called) will take place on Thursday at 1PM ET. You can watch on the Overwatch YouTube and Twitch channels. It could have helped bring fresh players in during the barren last couple of years and increased the hype for Overwatch 2. We’ll likely learn more details later this week, but I expect it’s only the PVP side of Overwatch 2 that’s going free-to-play, meaning the current game will be F2P too. There’s a big Overwatch 2 reveal set for this week with the promise of major news, including details on the next PVP beta. On Saturday, they posted a somewhat cryptic tweet that was, on the surface, cryptic. Over the last week or so, a Twitter user with the handle @insider_wtf has been posting leaks that have proven completely accurate.

A full look of the character and her kit will be revealed later, but a brief look at the character's gameplay was in the Overwatch 2 release date trailer.

What Will Overwatch 2's Battle Pass Look Like With The Free-To ... (Forbes)

Yesterday's Xbox and Bethesda showcase included the news every Overwatch fan has been waiting for: a release date for Overwatch 2.

I hope that there will be something for everyone every season. It’s also unclear whether PVE will require a separate purchase or if Blizzard will charge for expansions (again, those would likely be included in Game Pass). Overwatch 2 will also take a seasonal approach to updates. We now know there will be premium cosmetics in Overwatch 2. I trust (and hope) that Team 4 will take a more considered approach. Also, Blizzard announced the game, or at least the PVP side of it, will be free-to-play.
