At BlizzCon 2019, we presented a first look at the sequel to Overwatch. With improved visuals, technology, and immersive storytelling, Overwatch 2 is set to build upon the foundation created by the original game and bring the world and its heroes to life like never before.

The development team set out to evolve the artistic style of the original game for Overwatch 2 with a number of goals in mind: update hero vis...

I think they can drop Tuesdays or Thursdays these days. It sea those are just their 2 windows for ptr patches at this point in time.

For what it’s worth live game and PTR updates could happen on any day. We like Tuesday for live game because we could react more easily if there’s a catastrophic bug found.

Hey there our top crash on the Nintendo Switch platform is due to running out of video memory in certain circumstances. We have a patch that will be out tomorrow that helps reduce the chance this will occur.

Sorry for the hassle, we’re going to keep working hard to fix any issues we see.

Edit: fixed typo

Thanks for helping us test the game! We are now concluding the 1.42 Public Test.

The Public Test Region will not be accessible until we update it with new content in the future. As usual, we will leave the PTR Forums active so you can continue to provide any additional feedback and bug reports.

Thank you for participating and we hope you’ve enjoyed what we’ve shared at BlizzCon!

At the “What’s Next” panel led by Game Director Jeff Kaplan and Assistant Game Director Aaron Keller, BlizzCon 2019 attendees learned about Overwatch 2’s all-new co-op missions, the new map type Push, updates to the original game, new heroes, and even some story details. 


New PvP Map Type: Push

In this new map type, players will clash to take control of a robot that starts in a central location and “push” it toward the enemy team’s base. Push maps are symmetrical, and the team that guides the robot farthest by the end of the time limit wins the game.

Jeff and Aaron revealed one new Push map: Toronto. The map aims to be a faithful adaptation of several Overwatch developers’ home country, featuring snow, red maple trees, multicultural storefronts, and even a glimpse of the Toronto subway. The map also has a great number of flanking paths; true to Overwatch form, players of this mode are encouraged to coordinate team-play to achieve victory.
