Visitors to the Future Plans panel from Jeff Kaplan and Aaron Keller at BlizzCon 2019 were the first to know about everything that awaits players in Overwatch 2: new co-op missions, a new Onslaught mode, updates to the original game, new heroes, and even more. from the plot.
NEW PVP MODE: ONSLAUGHT
In the new mode, players will have to fight for control of the robot, which is initially located in the center of the battlefield. The task of the team is to bring the robot to the enemy base. The battlefields for the Onslaught mode are symmetrical, and the winner is the team that managed to lead the robot farther than the enemy in the allotted time.
Jeff and Aaron have unveiled one new Onslaught battleground: Toronto. Its creators focused on what the birthplace of several Overwatch developers looks like, with snow, red maples, cultural diversity and even a slice of the Toronto subway. This battlefield offers many flanking opportunities. As with everything in Overwatch, you need to play together to win this mode.
In addition to several new Onslaught battlegrounds, Overwatch 2 will introduce new locations for all existing PvP modes.
OVERWATCH STORY MISSIONS AND EVENTS
Since the release of the first game, we've learned a lot about the events that led to the breakup of Overwatch. After the adoption of the act of Petras, due to which our heroes had to disband the organization, new threats arose: "Null Sector", "Claw" and others that we do not yet know about. In the face of multiple crises, Winston launched a general gathering, urging all former Overwatch agents to unite again and fight back against injustice.
In Overwatch 2, heroes will finally answer the call. Co-op missions combine the storyline with the gameplay. Take part in a new chapter in Overwatch history and complete a series of exciting missions for four players. Each story mission has its own set of heroes, depending on the task before them, so players will have a thoughtful storyline. Additionally, videos at the beginning and end of each mission will allow players to dive deeper into the rich world of Overwatch.
ITEMS
The development team is also experimenting with items in story missions. Items shown at BlizzCon will be reusable throughout the mission, and will vary in features and rarity, allowing players to adapt to different play styles. The demo featured items such as a healing station (when activated, restores the health of all players in the area of effect) and a corrosive grenade (deals damage and increases damage taken by opponents from other sources).
MISSIONS: LEVELING UP AND STRENGTHENING
In addition to story missions, Overwatch 2 will feature co-op missions. In them, players will answer the call and take part in the general gathering in the role of any hero. In missions, players will have to level up their heroes, battling opponents such as Null Sector, Claw, and possibly those we don't know about yet - all in different parts of the Overwatch world. Each battlefield features different challenges, so dozens of hours of exciting battles await you.
By completing such tasks and raising the level of heroes, players will unlock talents - powerful modifications to the abilities of heroes. So, at BlizzCon, the talent "Chain Reaction" was demonstrated - with it "Impulse Bomb", the Tracer super ability, creates secondary explosions on affected opponents.
With the help of talents, it will be possible to develop every hero in the game. Players will have the opportunity to play the way they want it, and complete tasks with ease.
IMPROVED GRAPHICS
In Overwatch 2, not only new game mechanics are waiting for you, but also a massive visual update. The appearance of the characters will become more detailed and realistic. The new engine will make the faces of the characters more expressive, and the facial expressions - emotional. The interface will become easier to understand without being distracted from what is happening on the screen, and the text will be easier and more convenient to read.
MORE THAN A SEQUEL
Sojorn, who you may remember from the Feeling of the Storm event, will be one of those to join the fight in Overwatch 2. In the future, we will share more details about Sojorn and other heroes in the new game.
Overwatch players will be able to fight side by side with Overwatch 2 players in multiplayer, as well as use heroes from Overwatch 2 and play on new battlegrounds. All trophies obtained in Overwatch will be carried over to the second part, so players will not lose their skins, badges, graffiti, emotes and everything else!
