The developer said it was “building the cooperative, narrative-driven game experience that players have been asking for since the original-and that we’ve wanted to make for a long time.” Those missions would also give players a new type of progression and character customization, giving Overwatch’s heroes and villains new, supercharged abilities in co-op play. When Overwatch 2 was originally announced, Blizzard focused heavily on the addition of PvE content, in the form of Hero and Story Missions, coming to the sequel. Blizzard, as is its wont, has not communicated any kind of release date for Overwatch 2. But now that Overwatch 2 is entering beta, it’s possible Overwatch fans could get their sequel - at least the multiplayer PvP component of it - this year instead. In November, Blizzard Entertainment announced it was “planning for a later launch for Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV than originally envisaged,” hinting that the two titles, both announced in 2019, could slip to 2023. “Our goal for this phase is to test our new features, content, and systems before we shift to stress-testing the servers with a wider player base in future Beta tests.” “This closed beta will include a larger group of testers who we will ask to provide gameplay feedback,” Keller said. He revealed that the new alpha test will be playable by “Blizzard employees, Overwatch League pros, and a few other select groups,” while the forthcoming beta will launch in all regions for a bigger, but still closed, audience.
