Skills & Progression | |
N/A | The game returns to a traditional four-class system (Assault, Engineer, Support, Recon), replacing the Specialists of BF2042. Each class has unique traits, gadgets, and weapon proficiencies. A new 'Training System' acts as a subclass, allowing players to choose one of two skill paths in each match to unlock progressive, teamwork-focused perks. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
N/A | The game launched with nine multiplayer maps across four regions: Egypt, USA, Gibraltar, and Tajikistan. Maps like 'Siege of Cairo' offer dense urban combat, while 'Mirak Valley' provides a massive landscape for large-scale combined-arms warfare. The game also includes a remastered version of the fan-favorite 'Operation Firestorm' from Battlefield 3. |

N/A | Features a full suite of multiplayer modes, including 64-player Conquest and Breakthrough, the return of Rush, and smaller modes like Domination and TDM. A new 'Escalation' mode funnels players into progressively tighter combat zones. A Battle Royale mode developed by Ripple Effect is also included at launch. |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
N/A | The game is available in a Standard Edition ($69.99) and a Phantom Edition ($99.99), which includes the Battlefield Pro Token, the Phantom cosmetic pack, and an XP Boost Set. Pre-ordering any edition grants the 'Tombstone Pack' of cosmetic items. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
Overwatch 2 follows a seasonal live-service model. Each season (typically lasting around 9 weeks) introduces a new Battle Pass, often a new hero (alternating seasons), new maps or game modes, balance changes, limited-time events, and new cosmetic items in the shop. PvE Story Missions are planned as significant post-launch premium content, releasing episodically. |
The game is supported by a seasonal model with a Battle Pass for new content and cosmetics. The expanded 'Battlefield Portal' sandbox, powered by the Godot engine, allows for deep community-created content, including custom maps, modes, and even zombie horde experiences. |
