Overwatch 2: Everything We Know About Sojourn

Sigma's abilities make him a solid choice for an impactful tank . Kinetic Grasp eats at eager enemies' damage, feeding his shields to make him even stronger, and the Experimental Barrier is a portable shield that allies can shoot out of. His ultimate is also great for dealing with clusters of enemies, pulling them into the air to then slam them down, creating an opportunity for an immobilized att


But then 2020 became...Well, 2020. With the pandemic, I made some concessions and accepted that Blizzard would probably hold off on releasing Overwatch 2 maps 2 until 2021. By that time, the game would be even more polished and ready to take the gaming world by storm once ag


I am not thrilled about the new monetization, and I think at the very least there needs to be more ways to earn Overwatch Coins. That being said, we all know how free-to-play games work. If Blizzard makes a bunch of $20 skins, people will buy them. The hope is that Blizzard will reinvest that revenue back into the game so that we don’t have to replay Lucioball or Mei’s Snowball Offensive for the umpteenth time. We’re going to get five or six heroes a year instead of two or three. We’re going to get new maps, new game modes, and a whole new PvE story experience. Overwatch needs to change and grow all the time to keep people playing. The original wasn’t built to be that game, but hopefully Overwatch 2


Shortly after the attack at the Oslo facility, another attack occurred in the English city of King’s Row. A rogue group called Null Sector deployed several Bastion units and attacked the city. Although the British Prime Minister rejected the idea of having any Overwatch members involved, Morrison still sent a team to liberate the city. However, it wouldn’t be enough to save the t


There's not a lot of information about the exact hierarchy of Overwatch, but what's known is that Jack Morrison is a Strike Commander and Ana Amari is a Captain in the faction. Other heroes seem to be operatives of various kinds, and some heroes in the game don't even belong to a specific faction as they are with Talon inst


If you’re not intimately familiar with Overwatch, it might be hard to tell Overwatch 2 is even a different game. It has a few new characters and some new maps, a new game mode called Push, plus some subtle character redesigns, but it's largely the same game it's always been. But if you’ve been an active Overwatch player, a lot of the subtle changes have actually made a pretty big differe


Thirty years before the present day, the world was sent into one of the deadliest wars in history. Omnica Corporation created Omnics to help improve various productions and hoped the robotics would create worldwide economic equality. However, the facilities were shut down after investigations unearthed evidence of corporate fraud . Sometime after, the now-abandoned facilities suddenly came to life and began producing Omnic arm


While Assault-exclusive maps tend to have a knack for holding some frustrating bottlenecks for attacking teams, this Russian-themed map tends to take the cake as far as its huge defensive advantage. While point A at least gives the attackers a fighting chance with its multiple pathways, the enclosed area around point B requires a strike with military precision to pull off successfu


Yet despite its defensive-focused design, the layout, which yields multiple paths and areas to flank, makes attacking more-than-doable for sharp teams. The fun Warcraft- esque themes throughout, coupled with the variance of areas and overall detail make Eichenwalde an optimal choice to revisit for Overwatch


Sojourn's development goes back several years, which is impressive. In 2015 she was already being developed as a functional hero, with the team brainstorming about what kind of archetype was still missing from the game. Given her appearances in various comics and Archive missions, this isn't surpris


Given the long development time for Sojourn, it's likely the team behind Overwatch knew years before that she would be added to the second version of the game, or at least fairly later on with a significant update that would overhaul Overwa


The most apparent is the team size reduction. Overwatch 2 features 5v5 battles instead of 6v6, meaning both teams have one less tank in the fight. Opinions will vary, but I think it’s obvious that this is a huge improvement. Half the number of tanks means half the number of shields, which means fights are more active and exciting. Instead of both teams poking at each other from behind cover until everyone fires off their ults, every match is a constant back and forth. Getting picks has a much greater impact, so it’s easier to coordinate pushes with your team, even if you’re only communicating non-verbally. It’s a simpler, easier to follow spectator experience, which will help the Overwatch League reach a wider audience. Resizing the teams has an effect on every aspect of the game, and it’s been overwhelmingly posit
