During the Blizzcon 2019, Blizzard made a surprising announcement, and that is the development of Overwatch 2. It is going to be the sequel to their popular team-based shooting game, Overwatch.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first game was released in May 2016 and became a massive hit all over the world. Over three years, Blizzard has continued to expand the game by releasing new heroes, game maps, modes, and events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overwatch 2 is said to add an actual story mode in the game. This means that the sequel will further expand the lore that Blizzard was building for Overwatch.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the developers, Overwatch 2 is set after the released variety of short films of the game. In its teaser, we also get to see the Overwatch heroes fighting against the Null Sector.<\/span><\/p>\n
