All Game Modes in Overwatch 2

It’s a pretty exciting day for Overwatch fans, as Blizzard has just released a new developer update announcing some changes to the game’s structure, as well as a PvP beta that’s coming sometime in April. The beta itself will give players a chance to check out the new Push mode, and here’s everything you need to know about the game modes that will be in Overwatch 2.

All Game Modes in Overwatch 2

As mentioned above, Overwatch 2 is introducing a new game mode called Push, where teams must attempt to escort a robot over the finish line while holding each other off. It sounds similar to the Escort mode where a team escorts a payload to the finish line, with the big difference being that Push requires both teams to fight over the same objective at the same time.

Overwatch 2 will also bring back all of the existing game modes from the original game, and we’ve listed them down below:

  • Push
  • Story Experience
  • Hero Missions
  • Assault
  • Control
  • Escort
  • Hybrid

Push, Story Experience, and Hero Missions are new to Overwatch 2, with the latter two being PvE-focused modes that will have players fighting against AI and NPCs instead of each other. The game will also come with the Arcade and custom modes that we already have in Overwatch, so players can expect to see the return of other modes like Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag as well.

One thing to note is that the upcoming Overwatch 2 beta will be PvP-focused, which means that we won’t get a chance to check out any of the new PvE content just yet.

That’s all you need to know about all the game modes in Overwatch 2. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more news and information on the game, and feel free to check out our review of the original game as well.
