Overwatch 2 It comes with a brand new item shop that replaces the previous loot box system, a free-for-all Battle Pass, and a Premium Battle Pass that can be purchased each season. Both versions of the battle pass offer endless options to take the experience of Overwatch 2 to another level and it is through this means that new heroes will be available periodically after the first two seasons.

The Premium Battle Pass provides a variety of benefits, including immediate access to new Heroes when they join the roster, skin unlocks, and other content; this pass can be purchased for 1,000 Overwatch Coins per season. With in-game challenges each season, everyone can earn free Overwatch Coins to purchase the Premium Battle Pass or other items available in the store.

In Season One, available now, we’re introducing cyberpunk-themed items that will be available in the Battle Pass, both on the free and premium tracks; These include skins, emotes, victory poses, playthrough intros, player icons, weapon charms, sprays, voice lines, and much more.

In season two we will have the debut of a tank hero and another map that we will announce later. The seasons will follow a schedule with changes every nine weeks, with a special theme each season and new collectibles with which you can customize your experience of Overwatch 2.

Our team continues with the development of the expected pve mode Overwatch 2, whose presentation is planned for next year. We will share details about the launch of this mode later.
