Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 is Blizzard Entertainment's free-to-play evolution of their landmark hero shooter — a 5v5 reimagining of the formula that removed one tank from each team to create faster, more dynamic team fights. The transition to a single frontline tank per team shifted the game's balance significantly, giving tank players a far more dominant and individual impact on matches. The new Push game mode and reworked heroes gave the competitive meta a fresh foundation. An expanded PvE story mission structure — Invasion — gave players their first real taste of the lore-driven co-op content originally promised. The seasonal content cadence, character cosmetics, and ping system improvements modernized the competitive experience. While the free-to-play transition sparked controversy over monetization, Overwatch 2 remains the most polished and mechanically refined hero shooter on the market, with a roster spanning over 40 unique characters.
