Blizzard has just announced an upcoming announcement that will be released on June 16th. This follows the conclusion of the first Overwatch 2 PvP beta. In the beta, players were able to get a first look at the new game mechanics, which immediately appeared quite different from the original Overwatch. The sequel has in fact a whole series of changes: the games have been reduced to 5v5, there is a new game mode called Push and a new hero called Soujourn (in addition to other different reworkings). The news was received both with enthusiasm and with criticism from fans.
