Activision Blizzard has confirmed that Overwatch 2 will launch on October 4 in early access, and its PvP segment will be free-to-play.
Overwatch 2 launches into early access on October 4 for PC, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. The game will feature cross-platform play and cross-progression.
Blizzard's press release only mentions PvP here, so it looks like the story-driven segment of the game will be delayed from the early access launch. Junker Queen will be available as part of the October 4 release.
A larger reveal event is planned for Thursday, June 16 at 10am PDT on YouTube and Twitch. Blizzard says this broadcast will provide more info on Junker Queen, the next phase of the closed beta, and the game's "live service model and seasonal content plan."
"This is the beginning of an always-on and always-evolving era for the franchise," Blizzard president Mike Ybarra says in a press release, "and a recommitment to serving players with frequent and substantial updates planned well into the future to keep Overwatch 2 fresh and fun for many years to come."
