Overwatch 2 just had its release date revealed in the Xbox & Bethesda Game Showcase. The date leaked a few minutes early but a trailer was set to play during the live stream a few moments later.
We'll be playing the sequel of the popular competitive multiplayer game from 4 October 2022. In the same trailer, we got confirmation of a new hero, Junker Queen.
The given release date was classified as 'Early Access' which suggests there will be an edition of Overwatch 2 that comes with this access included. It also comes as no surprise that Overwatch 2 will be launching as free-to-play.
