“Overwatch 2” gameplay
Overwatch 2 is a game where you choose a “hero” from 35 characters and play against each other as a team. These heroes are divided into three categories: Damage (offense), Support (healing and buffing), and Tank (creating space for the team).
Each hero has unique abilities, and the game mainly focuses on player versus player battles in different modes and maps. In the past, teams had six players, but in Overwatch 2, they reduced the number to five to make the game faster and easier.
There’s a new mode called “Push,” where teams try to control robots to push payloads to the enemy side of the map. The game also introduces a cosmetic battle pass system, making it free to play. Players can access both PC and console versions using the same account, and there are plans for story-based missions and special challenges to improve your skills with different heroes.
