About Overwatch 2

At launch, players will be able to get the newest tank hero to join the roster: the Junker Queen, the cruel Australian-born queen of Junkertown. More information about the Junker Queen, Overwatch 2’s live service model and seasonal content roadmap, and the future phase of the game’s private beta testing will be revealed during the Overwatch 2 Reveal Event .

Following Sojourn, a high-mobility and railgun-wielding former Overwatch captain with cybernetic skills, the Junker Queen is the franchise’s 34th hero overall. At launch, new and renowned foreign locales will be added to the game, ranging from the icy New Queen Street in Toronto to the hustle and bustle of Midtown Manhattan. Overwatch 2 also includes the new Push game mode, a symmetrical map type in which teams compete to control and move a centrally positioned robot farther into enemy territory than the opposing team.
