You may want to know about the Overwatch 2 character changes, along with the game changes as there are some major differences between the first and second game that seeks to breathe some life back into the series. Overwatch 2 is still functionally the same as Overwatch 1, keeping largely the same the maps, characters, and game modes, but with a few additions. Some heroes have seen some reworks of their kit, while others have had smaller changes to match the new pace of the game, so read on for a breakdown of all the Overwatch 2 character changes.
One of the first big changes is the switch from 6v6 to 5v5, with one tank, two attackers, and two supports making up the team composition. You can also queue for a specific role or for a random one. The Overwatch 2 maps have also changed slightly, with a few new additions in the Escort and Hybrid modes, and a brand-new mode called Push, which comes with two maps.
There are also some major changes made to how the roles work and different mechanics, which are:
Many of the heroes have had changes, ranging from small alterations to their abilities, to full reworks.
Bastion has had a complete rework, removing his old abilities for new ones.
Doomfist has also had a complete rework.
Overwatch 2 Junker Queen is a brand-new hero added during the closed beta that began on June 28. Check our guide on her abilities, along with sme tips.
Orisa is another character that has seen a huge rework to her kit.
Sojourn is another new hero that was added in the first closed beta test.
That's all for our breakdown of the Overwatch 2 character changes, and now you know some of the main changes made to the game, along with the specific character changes.
We also have a breakdown of the new Overwatch 2 scoreboard, which displays more information.
