A BlizzCon 2019 demo guide obtained by ESPN intimates Blizzard may be planning to unveil Overwatch 2 at its upcoming event next week and reports “PvE” features will be playable for attendees at the show.
To be fair, a successor to Blizzard’s incredibly successful shooter isn’t all that unexpected – the franchise has spawned a number of spin-off projects already, so a sequel certainly makes sense – but ESPN reports the upcoming BlizzCon show will see a number of revelations, including a new logo, maps, modes, and “PvE features”, and both the PvE story and a new game mode are “expected to be available to play for BlizzCon attendees this weekend”.
“Notably, the Overwatch logo now has a small orange ‘2’ indexed in the top right corner,” ESPN reported. “Hero talents and in-game items are coming to Overwatch 2 PvE, and one of the missions will be a four-player story experience set in Rio de Janeiro, as opposed to the 6v6 gameplay in the original Overwatch.
