[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56110, member: 1"] Overwatch 2's long-awaited PvP mode will be released into early access on October 4 – and it will be going free-to-play. As announced during the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-and-bethesda-games-showcase-2022-everything-announced']Xbox and Bethesda Showcase[/URL], Blizzard made a special appearance to give an update on Overwatch 2. After years of waiting, the PvP portion of Overwatch 2 will be released this October. But where the first Overwatch was a paid release, Overwatch 2 will be going free-to-play. This will likely mean Overwatch 2 will undergo some serious business model changes, and likely incorporate some form of Season Pass for monetization. It's also unclear how this will affect the way new heroes can be acquired, which were previously released for free under the first Overwatch. Blizzard also announced a Founder's Pack, which gives existing Overwatch players an exclusive icon, two Epic skins and other bonuses. Players will need to own the original Overwatch before June 23, 2022 to be eligible for the Pack. A short trailer for Overwatch 2 revealed the release date, as well as some of the new character designs. Overwatch 2 was first announced at BlizzCon 2019 as a follow-up to the critically-acclaimed online shooter. Earlier this year, we learned that its [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/overwatch-2-pvp-pve-separate-release-beta-april']PvP and PvE sections will be released separately[/URL]. Overwatch 2 will eventually include both a PvP mode – which will be mirrored in the first Overwatch – and a PvE story mode that's exclusive to the sequel. Alongside new characters, Overwatch 2 has reconfigured team comps to be 5v5 instead of 6v6, requiring only one Tank class per team instead of two. Heroes will also be retooled with different move sets and abilities – and we've written about how it results in a [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/overwatch-2-a-whole-new-game-for-tank-players']whole new game for Tank players[/URL] as a result.
