Tanks will be modified to play more aggressively (Reinhardt's current iteration lets him throw two Firestrikes per cooldown and cancel his charge at will).Д«lizzard also stated its intention to revamp modes as needed. On the PvP side, big change is on the horizon. We now have a much better sense of how Blizzard is tweaking Overwatch around its sequel. Overatch 2 didn't get the same opening ceremony treatment that its Blizzard cousins, but that hardly means it didn't have any exciting announcements.

Blizzard is experimenting with 'role passive' bonuses that would help differentiate Overwatch's three core roles.

We got a good look at Sojourn's weapon, an assault rifle/railgun combo that looks very satisfying.

New changes are coming to Tanks to make them play like 'toe-to-toe brawlers'.

The season is set to begin sometime in April 2022, meaning that the sequel will be out in the wild, albeit in an extremely limited fashion, in the first half of next year. Blizzard confirmed this is still the plan despite Overwatch 2's delay. We don't know much about the 2022 season of the Overwatch League just yet, but we do know that competitive players will be using an 'early build' of Overwatch 2 in 2022. Competitive teams will use a build of Overwatch 2 in 2022 But it's likely we'll get some commentary on all the big Blizzard projects once the deal turns over, much like any kid-enormous-corporate-conglomerate or small-Microsoft will want to play with their new toys. It's unlikely we'll see much in the way of effects for awhile, since Overwatch 2 is slated for 2023, and the deal itself hasn't been finalized yet.

When it comes to Overwatch 2, though, what this means is still uncertain. In case the internet has been out for you and you missed the news that Microsoft is acquiring Activision Blizzard in their quest to assemble video-game-developer-Voltron, well, it's happening. What does the Microsoft purchase mean for Overwatch 2?

Does this mean Overwatch 2 will release in some form in 2022? That much isn't clear, but since it seems like PvE is taking longer than expected, the new PvP additions now have more room to breath.
