More than anything, Overwatch 2 feels much faster than Overwatch. While this doesn’t affect the actual mechanics of each character all that much, it absolutely shakes up the overall strategy of each match. Why Blizzard believes Overwatch 2’s battle pass won’t break the gameĬrucially, matches now have five players per team instead of six. Mei’s ice gun won’t freeze enemies solid anymore, and Cassidy’s no longer got a flashbang. For instance, Blizzard removed a lot of Overwatch’s stun abilities. Most of the heroes have had their stats tweaked, and some abilities changed.

Instead of escorting a truck through a map, players are fighting for control of a large robot that pushes a barrier to opposing goal lines whoever gets the robot the farthest wins. There’s also a new mode called Push, which is basically an iteration on Escort. There are new maps (quite a few of them) but most of the old ones are playable, too. 4, players will immediately jump into largely the same competitive and casual queues they’re already accustomed to. Think of Overwatch 2 as an add-on to the original, with a slew of impactful adjustments. But this transition from an original game to a sequel is not like going from The Last of Us to The Last of Us Part 2 - one story is not building upon another. And after a daylong maintenance period, it’ll be forever replaced with Overwatch 2. (Im aware it might be the sms verification thats is causing the issue but wouldn't have been sure as its set up from ages ago and has previously been used) i also have harddrive space available so didnt think it would be an issue.Yes, it’s true: Overwatch is shutting down on Oct. There isn't really any info on this other than you can pre download the game from the 30th sept.ĭoes anyone know how or why im unable to download this or can confirm it its in the OW1 installation I can still download OW1 and unsure if downloading this will give me the option to predownload or if the predownload is within the OW1 download. I just dont seem to be able to pre download the game and I'm pretty confused by it.

Im really confused regarding the OW2 update and how to predownload the game, I've owned the original since launch and had a phone number attached to the account (can no longer access that due to it being like 5 years old and have upgraded since, but have a phone connected anyway)
