Over the last 48 hours, several images from an employee training manual for the Blizzcon demo have been leaked, first via posts on Twitter and Discord, then confirmed by ESPN reporter Rod Breslau, who obtained a copy of the document.

Edit: Rod Breslau has tweeted some clarification. He says it's unlikely that Echo is actually Hero 32, and that Overwatch 2 may not be the final title.

Blizzard Entertainment will unveil the next iteration of its popular Overwatch franchise featuring a new logo, new game modes, maps, heroes and PvE features at BlizzCon this week, according to a BlizzCon source and a BlizzCon training document, which included information about Overwatch 2 and was obtained by ESPN.

[...]

The document obtained by ESPN offers a first look for what to expect from Blizzard's franchise esports title at BlizzCon, which begins on Friday.

Hero talents and in-game items are coming to Overwatch 2 PvE, and one of the missions will be a four-player story experience set in Rio de Janeiro, as opposed to the 6v6 gameplay in the original Overwatch, according to the document. Blizzard did not respond to a request for comment.

While much of the focus will be on story and narrative elements, Overwatch will see its first new mode since the game was released in beta in 2015, with "Push" set to be unveiled alongside Assault, Control, Escort, Hybrid. Push will be set on a new map based in "Toronto," according to the document.

[...]

Both the PvE story and new game mode are expected to be available to play for BlizzCon attendees this weekend.

Referenced by the artwork in the document, Blizzard is expected to reveal Echo as Overwatch's 32nd hero. Blizzard first showed off Echo at BlizzCon last year, and game director Jeff Kaplan said they had "big plans for her" as of late last year.

It's not gonna be a PVE only game tho.

Then there was no need to comment.

The rumor a while back is that is was more of an addon/expansion rather than a new game if you will that focused on PvE.

Need and want are different. I wanted to.

[Wrath of the Bolvar]

Looks like just plain Overwatch to me.

So basically they're finally gonna develop PvE content for the game, and they're gonna charge people again for it.

[Ashahalasin]

So hyped for this!

Hoping it's real.

[MiiiMiii]

I would love it if the Overwatch 2 PvP had more customizability in gameplay on each hero like it seems. Choose your own perks on Tracers' ultimate for instance.

Cant wait for slasher (rob breslau, the guy who reported this) to shave his head HAHA https://twitter.com/Slasher/status/1...389299712?s=19

I hope it a solo adventure game + pvp from OW1

[Thelxi]

It's kinda weird marketing to call it OW2 when it looks more like it is just a new PvE scenario (which we've already seen in the game) plus a PvE talent system. This doesn't look like an actually new game. Maybe they will sell it as an expansion or something?

since activision lost destiny earlier this year, making overwatch into a class/hero PvPvE shooter to fill the gap isnt that bad of a choice

[Gasparde]

Like... okay? Since I doubt it'll just be a f2p upgrade... maybe I'd give it a go if it was like 20 bucks or something like that. Not gonna spend 50+ bucks for an 8 hour campaing and more generic OW multiplayer stuff, not after Blizzards recent track record.

[Raetary]

It's most definitely an expansion that allows for PvE content.


It genuinely looks cool tho, am excited.
Definitely will bring me back into the game.

Honestly my only real problems with Overwatch were ultimates being "I win" buttons, and the forced tank-heal-dps thing.

I loved TF2 because I could just play whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and still contribute to winning the game. In Overwatch you NEED tanks and NEED healers, or you WILL lose. It's like..."Oh, you want to play this character? No, fuck you, you're going to play this other character instead", no, it's not fun being forced to play certain characters.

If they remove ultimates (or at least heavily tone them down) and make games less reliant on tanks and healers, that'd at least be a step in the right direciton.
