This is all going to be galling for Overwatch veterans who liked the fact that they paid once for the game, learned their characters, and then competed on a level playing field – but that’s so 2010s. Blizzard has also said that it plans to rebalance the game every season to make it feel continually new. With new characters likely to arrive on a regular basis, it’s doubtless going to be tough for casual players to keep levelling up without eventually paying up. You don’t need them, but if you’re a completist about weapon charms and rare costumes, you might find your cursor inching toward the “buy credits” button.
Some cosmetic items will only be available if you pay for a subscription or buy them directly from the shop. If you want to customise your costume and weapons – or play as Kiriko, one of the three new characters – you’ll either need to play a lot of the game, completing daily challenges and working your way through the tiers before the season ends … or just buy the Battle Pass. The game has been refitted to work with that infamous talisman of the free-to-play shooter: the Fortnite-style battle pass. The biggest change is economic: Overwatch has now gone free-to-play, meaning you can download it on to your PC or console and start blasting without paying a penny. This is the same team-based sci-fi shooter we’ve been playing since 2016, with mostly the same characters battling it out with familiar moves. In total, you will have to play and complete 150 matches in different game modes to unlock all the heroes in Overwatch 2.I f Overwatch 2 were a movie, it would probably be called a reboot or a reimagining rather than a sequel. You can also unlock the character immediately after buying the Premium Battle Pass. Kiriko is locked behind the Season 1 Battle Pass and can only be unlocked after you reach Tier 55. Log In to the game before the first season ends to unlock the character.
