The developers from Blizzard Entertainment have shared a new blog post dedicated to the upcoming team shooter Overwatch 2. With the first PvP beta finished, the team wraps up the testing phase and announces the date for an upcoming event. Save the date for an Overwatch 2 Event on June 16!
Meanwhile, Overwatch 2 Game Director Aaron Keller shared some words on the team’s behalf:
“The Overwatch Team would like to take a moment to convey a heartfelt thank you to all the players that took part in our first beta. It was so exciting to see our community playing our game. The enthusiasm for this game and this universe means so much to us, it always has, and it always will.
Overwatch as a world, as a universe, is deeply personal to the team; something that we pour our time, creative energies and passion into. It can be scary putting something that means so much to you out there for other people to look at. Especially when you know that it’s not finished and you’re asking for people’s real and valid criticisms of what you’ve made.
But the reason we do it is important–to make a better game, and it’s our players and our community that make it possible. Tests like this are a vital part of the process of improving Overwatch. We can’t wait to take everything we’ve learned from the beta and apply it to the game, and we’re so excited to get it back in front of you.”
While waiting for more Overwatch 2 goodness, you might want to check out the origins and gameplay of Sojourn, the latest character introduced to the roster of the game.
Vivian “Sojourn” Chase served in the Canadian Special Forces during the Omnic Crisis where she met and teamed up with Overwatch’s commander Jack Morrison. After the war was over, Morrison reached out to Vivian and offered her to join the organization, to which she agreed.
