Was there really a need for Overwatch 2? Even after playing the game the answer is still not clear 🎮
It’s six years since the launch of the original Overwatch, so in normal circumstances a sequel would seem overdue at this point. That’s not generally how live service games work though and even when they announced it, developer Blizzard made it clear this isn’t a normal sequel. Exactly what it is though has been frequently unclear in the run up to its launch, but now finally we’ve had a chance to play it… sort of.
However, if you’re new to the Overwatch franchise, you’ll have a grind on your hands in order to unlock all of the characters. Those that did play Overwatch have automatically had their heroes transferred over and don’t need to, but everyone else starts with a very limited roster that focuses on the three main new characters – and even then only two are instantly accessible for everyone.
The new premium battle pass contains an additional 60 unlockable tiers, up from the base of 20 on the free version, and includes the first ever mythic tier skin, as well as other cosmetic items. Mythic skins go beyond the existing legendary skins and the first one is for Genji, which is a cyber demon look that is customisable by mixing and matching layers with customisable colours. Premium battle pass holders can also benefit from a season-long experience boost.
