BlizzCon 2019: Overwatch 2 launched, focusing on expanding the plot

After much speculation, Overwatch 2 was officially announced. Game director Jeff Kaplan appeared at BlizzCon 2019 to express his excitement.

At the beginning of the video is a rather empty plane, with only Winston, Tracer and Mei on it. They are thinking about the Overwatch members, and worried because the current force is too thin. An omnic army is attacking Paris, and only these three heroes are present. And then, the giant robot appeared, changing the outcome of the battle a bit.

Suddenly, Genji appeared and then the rest of Overwatch, along with Echo – the newest hero. Through this video, we are officially confirmed that Overwatch 2 and Echo exist.

The game’s first installment, Overwatch, is one of Blizzard’s most successful franchises since its launch in 2016 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. A few months ago, Overwatch just launched on the Nintendo Switch.

Last year was not a good year for Blizzard after Diablo Immortal was not well received by the community at BlizzCon 2018. Not to mention, the company also laid off more than 200 employees in an effort to cut costs for the parent company. Activision-Blizzard.
