Overwatch 2: 10 Big Reveals From Blizzcon 2019
2. Story Mode
The long awaited, much demanded story mode is finally here!
Set to premiere as part of Overwatch 2's launch, the PVE story mode with its ability customisation, items and team-based co-op has fans excited, not just for gameplay, but for story - which has long been the franchise's biggest draw.
The closest to this that players got in the original game was the Archives events, though those were made specifically to show past events before Winston's Recall. What we've seen of Overwatch 2 so far, however, implies that all of its stories will take place in present day, with Winston able to gather forces for the newest incarnation of the team and dealing with attacks all over the world by Null Sector and other shady groups like, presumably, terrorist organisation Talon, or even corrupt businesses like Vishkar and LumeriCo.
The demo at Blizzcon showed the story mission in Rio De Janeiro, with the newest team assisting Lucio in defending his city from omnic invasion. For all intents and purposes, Overwatch 2 will be canon in a way most of Overwatch's 6v6 PVP was not, and everyone who's been begging for more story for years cannot wait.
