What's in the Overwatch 2 Beta version?
Anyone attempting to join the Overwatch 2 Beta at the end of April 2022 will experience new content that developers have been researching for the past year. First and foremost, players will be able to test the newest Overwatch hero, Sojourn, a soldier armed with an iron gun. All we know about the character so far is that she is one of the new heroes appearing in Overwatch 2, and her abilities are a mystery.
Alongside Sojourn, players will be able to try out four new maps in Overwatch 2, the Push game mode, and a new ping system. Some changes for other characters like Orisa, Doomfist, Bastion, and Sombra will also be available in the Overwatch 2 Close Beta.
