Sojourn from Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 is starting testing soon

Overwatch was once the hot new brand in gaming. In the past couple of years, the property has gone cold while updates slowed for the original game and development on the sequel lagged.

Today, Blizzard announced that Overwatch 2’s PvP modes will enter testing soon. This starts with a closed alpha, open to a select few like Blizzard employees and Overwatch League players, starting this week. Then, in late April, a closed beta will start. You can sign up for that here.
