The ebb and flow of this sequel are much the same, starring a colorful, diverse cast of powerful heroes contesting each other in team vs team combat.an accessible experience for anybodycolorful, diverse cast of powerful heroesSet just after the climactic story event of Overwatch, Overwatch 2 welcomes new heroes, maps, and modes. Veteran players will notice that core gameplay still revolves around PvP combat that blends three distinctive class types in different permutations. The game's wide roster of characters are still different variations of the three major archetypes: tank, damage, and support.new heroes mapsmodesPvP combatwide roster of characterstank damagesupportFor new players unfamiliar with these archetypes, tank heroes, like the new Junker Queen, are designed to soak up damage and shatter fortified positions. They excel in claustrophobic chokepoints and wreak havoc on enemies too closely bunched together. While they're great at leading a charge, damage heroes like Sojourn are more easily killed. They can deal tremendous amounts of damage, however, using a wide range of tools and abilities.Junker Queensoak up damageshatter fortified positionswide range of tools and abilitiesDamage heroes need backup in order to reach their fullest potential, and that's where support heroes like Brigitte come into play. These heroes buff allies in various ways, either boosting their damage, shielding or healing them, or debuffing and disabling opponents. Their role on the team is more subtle; rather than going on long killstreaks, support heroes are the backbone of any team's survival.Damage heroes need backupbuff allies in various waysbackbone of any team's survivalOverwatch 2 vs OverwatchOne of the major changes from Overwatch to Overwatch 2 is team sizes. PvP modes now pit two teams of five against each other, rather than six. Roles are limited to one tank, two damage, and two support heroes per team, radically changing both the pace of a match and the overall positioning a team will need to take. The coveted tank role will become more important as a result, and team cohesion will play a bigger role.team sizestwo teams of fiveteam cohesion will play a bigger roleOverwatch 2 also expands upon the game's RPG element, adding a Talents system that can be accessed and tweaked between matches. This consists of special augmentation for heroes' abilities that can be used during Hero Missions and Story Experience game modes. Each hero will have three different skill trees to progress through, further increasing the variation between players of the same hero.RPGRPG elementTalents systemspecial augmentation for heroes' abilitiesHero MissionsStory Experiencethree different skill treesConsidered an update to replace the original Overwatch, the biggest new feature is a shared multiplayer environment between the two games.
