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 expected to follow a seasonal model with weekly challenges and events, similar to Modern Warfare III, to maintain player engagement. These events will offer rewards like animated camos and aftermarket parts. New maps and content will be added with each season. |
