It has been a long time coming, but Blizzard is nearing the finish line with Overwatch 2, as the multiplayer side of the upcoming game is set to launch in October. Unlike its predecessor, Overwatch 2 is going the free-to-play route with full cross-platform play and a seasonal model that players can opt in to through standard battle passes. It's also launching with an online store where players can spend both free and premium currency to directly purchase cosmetic items like character skins and other items.
