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 follows the established seasonal model, with free post-launch seasons delivering new multiplayer maps, modes, weapons, and Zombies content to all players. |
