Įlite units have been added to PvE scenarios. The PvE maps will be larger than those featured in the original game. Overwatch 2 will feature PvE story missions that are set after Overwatch was recalled by Winston. All players, even those on console, must have a account to play the game. The game has cross-progression players are able to merge their accounts across platforms into a single profile. New content will be released regularly through the game's seasons. Updated appearances of all the current heroes will be exclusive to Overwatch 2. New players are automatically placed in the First Time User Experience system. The passives of these roles were further altered-damage heroes move faster, tank heroes have knockback reductions (while receiving less charge when attacked by enemies), and support heroes automatically regenerate health while out of combat. The game's PvP mode was changed from 6v6 to 5v5, with the roles limited to one tank, two damage, and two support. Overwatch 2 replaces the original Overwatch as an update, and as such, PvP content is free for existing users. The modes launched alongside multiple new maps and heroes, new HUD, and a major engine upgrade. An example of the former is Story Experience. Overwatch 2 features/will feature both new PvE and PvP modes. The plot takes place over the whole world. It will have an ongoing plot, focused on a second omnic uprising. Overwatch 2 takes place one year after Recall.
