In fact, Blizzard will be hosting an Overwatch 2 reveal event this week, so there’s always a chance the Kanezaka fox girl could be introduced there.

What Will Overwatch 2's Battle Pass Look Like With The Free-To ... (Forbes)

Yesterday's Xbox and Bethesda showcase included the news every Overwatch fan has been waiting for: a release date for Overwatch 2.

I hope that there will be something for everyone every season. It’s also unclear whether PVE will require a separate purchase or if Blizzard will charge for expansions (again, those would likely be included in Game Pass). Overwatch 2 will also take a seasonal approach to updates. We now know there will be premium cosmetics in Overwatch 2. I trust (and hope) that Team 4 will take a more considered approach. Also, Blizzard announced the game, or at least the PVP side of it, will be free-to-play.

Blizzard could do something similar upon the game’s release, offering rewards to players who downloaded the game and watch Overwatch League matches. That could set up the Countdown Cup tournament and the Overwatch League playoffs for strong viewership. Not only could viewership be strong, but the OWL gameplay could also be wild. What if the casual players, who will play a crucial role in the future of the Overwatch League, got to see Junker Queen before Oct. 4? Overwatch 2′s multiplayer will be free to play. The Overwatch League already had fancy permissions with the early version of Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2, the sequel to Blizzard Entertainment's successful video game IP will at long last launch "in early access" come October 4th.

As for its PVE systems (the feature that was previously heavily marketed), there was no specific mention of it in Blizzard Entertainment’s official press release. Players have the option to select (story-based) game modes and pit themselves against various missions and objectives. The game was first announced in 2019, during a rather tumultuous time for the video gaming company.
