After years of Overwatch players yearning for story-based PvE objectives, Blizzard is prepared to deliver. With the launch of Overwatch 2’s sixth season, Invasion, comes the series’ push into storytelling with an all-new game mode: story missions. And, thanks to Overwatch 2: Invasion’s most current trailer, we now have a better idea as to what the first 3 entries in this new mode will involve.
The trailer begins with video of 3 cities, Rio de Janeiro, Gothenburg, and Toronto, being evacuated. Winston declares there is something various about Null Sector this time around before the trailer cuts to Sojourn, who informs him that most of her city (Toronto) has actually been taken over by the organization.
However, Sojourn isn’t the only one dealing with a major intrusion, as we see Lucio skate through an overrun Rio de Janeiro while Brigette and her daddy, Torbjörn, battle to hold down Gothenburg. In addition to these characters, the trailer also features Mei, Reinhardt, Genji, Mercy, Tracer, and Bastion. Thinking about Overwatch 2 designers have actually formerly stated that story missions will make use of only a select number of heroes in an effort to meaningfully include them in the story and develop something that makes narrative sense, it promises that these heroes will function as the Invasion storyline’s lineup.
It likewise seems like players will be handling considerably bigger opponents in story objectives. With maps “four to five times bigger” than the ones utilized in other game modes, that area will relatively be utilized to host big scale enemies such as the huge Null Sector robotic seen shooting off rockets in the trailer.
Overwatch 2: Invasion will include three story objectives, with each set in a various area being attacked by Null Sector, i.e. The objectives are readily available through the Overwatch 2: Invasion package, which costs $15.
This trailer isn’t the only big statement the Overwatch 2 group made today. Blizzard likewise revealed that famous wrestler-turned-actor John Cena is coming to Overwatch. Cena will be joining the game as The Enigma, a mystical figure seemingly assisting Overwatch.
