There are many new characters to look forward to in Overwatch 2, though new players will need to unlock both the classic heroes list and the brand-new locked OW2 protagonists either for free or through a premium battle pass
Only the PvP section of OW2 will be available when it opens because the story mode won’t be available until some time in 2023. Everyone can play the PvP for free, but first-game owners also get a Founder’s Pack as an added benefit.
