While the original Overwatch was a standard full-priced release, Overwatch 2<\/a> has gone in a completely different direction with a free-to-play Battle Pass model.<\/p>\n

The multiplayer PvP mode has now launched \u2013 complete with crossplay<\/a> \u2013 but for the first time, Overwatch is set to have a dedicated PvE mode with co-op missions that delve deep into the game\u2019s lore.<\/p>\n

However, this PvE content is not set to be released until further down the line. So, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Overwatch\u2019s first story mode.<\/p>

Will Overwatch 2 have a story mode?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While the original Overwatch did have PvE game modes, they were time-limited offerings tied to temporary events with the story instead told through animated shorts.<\/p>\n

However, Overwatch 2 looks to be adding a permanent PvE mode that will include a full story campaign that will explore the Overwatch world and lore fully in-game for the first time.<\/p>\n

The mode will of course see you team up with other players against AI enemies, and after completing the campaign Hero Missions will be available as replayable endgame content.<\/p>\n

Characters from across the hero roster will be playable, with each having a skill tree and unlockable upgrades that look exclusive to the PvE mode.<\/p>\n

You can see glimpses of the story mode in this gameplay trailer:<\/p>\n
