Overwatch 2 is launching in ‘Early Access’ for PC and Xbox this October

As expected, Blizzard had a fairly major presence at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase. Not only did we get a good dose of Diablo IV gameplay, but a major Overwatch 2 reveal also took place. The game will now be free to play, and it'll be launching in Early Access for Xbox and PC in just a few months time. 

A new Overwatch 2 trailer released at the showcase and we also got a quick cinematic teaser for Junker Queen, a new hero coming to Overwatch 2:

Blizzard will be revealing more about its next major hero, as well as other gameplay updates coming to Overwatch 2 ahead of launch, during its own stream next week, on the 16th of June.

Overwatch 2 will release as a free to play ‘Early Access' title on PC and Xbox Series X/S consoles later this year. So far, no early access plans have been announced for other platforms.

KitGuru Says: Many Overwatch players have questioned the need for Overwatch 2 and have lamented the idea of re-purchasing the game. Fortunately, the free to play model will make the transition a lot smoother and should sway a larger number of people to give the game a shot.
