The developer of Overwatch 2 has revealed that it will be making an interesting change when it comes to Heroes in the game’s upcoming sequel.

Ever since the original Overwatch was first released in 2016, new heroes that have been added to the game over time have always been loosely added to the existing roster of characters. This means that players have always been able to use these new heroes the moment they are released without any kind of barrier. Unfortunately, based on new information that has come to light, this will not be true with Overwatch 2.

According to the vice president of Blizzard, Jon Spector, new heroes added to Overwatch 2 will be locked behind the game’s battle pass. This means that in order to unlock these characters, players will have to play the game and earn new Heroes by reaching certain Pass levels.

While Spector emphasized that Heroes would only be tied to the free portion of the Battle Pass that all Overwatch 2 players will be able to access, this still marks a massive change in how new characters will be available over time.

Although this movement Overwatch 2 can be quite divisive among fans, it’s not uncommon to see this practice in other multiplayer games. titles like League of Legends, Valorant Y Rainbow Six Siege they have always locked new characters behind some sort of wall which can then be unlocked by spending real money or in-game currency.

With Overwatch 2 now switching to a free-to-play model, it’s not surprising to see that Blizzard would look to adopt a similar system. Still, it’s hard to see why many fans would be very upset given that the original Overwatch never released Heroes this way.

Overwatch 2 It will launch in early access on October 4 and will arrive on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.
