We’ve been playing with the Ping system in our daily playtests for awhile.

We’ll have more details to share about it before beta starts, so please stay tuned!

Just to clarify something: Sojourn will be available in the first beta phase. As Aaron said, we’ll be having multiple phases of beta, and we are working on more, new, heroes for each role.

Sign up for the April Overwatch 2 PvP Beta here: https://playoverwatch.com/beta/

Hey all, we're working on getting the site stable. Right now the site itself is loading ok, but the "opt-in" button is not working for some people. We're on it and hope to have it resolved soon.

Hey Reddit, we're working on the beta page, sorry for the issues. Right now we have the page itself back up and running but the "opt-in" flow is still not working for some users. We hope to have this fixed soon.

It’s can’t.

For Jodie or I to come to the forums and provide any additional insight that’s not been thoroughly vetted and approved by the teams would be disrespectful to the work of the hundreds of people behind our announcements

Comment

The team is very aware of the current conversation happening here on the forums. When we have more to share regarding those other matters you’re alluding to, we will.
