Blizzard has revealed further details about the Invasion update for Overwatch 2, which is scheduled to release in August. This is a $15 premium add-on that grants you “long-term access” to three different story objectives.
For those who want the short version, Blizzard has promised “new Story Missions, a new PVP core video game mode, new ways to build on your abilities with your favourite heroes… and a new Support hero” in Overwatch 2: Invasion.
These plot points will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, and Gothenburg, all of which have “huge maps” and “complicated goals.” Players will take charge of the Null Sector team, and the game’s ongoing story will develop further in subsequent installments.
After confirming that its long-promised flagship PvE mode has actually been abandoned, Blizzard assured fans last month that “a great deal of excellent PvE material coming this year.”
Overwatch’s $15 Invasion Bundle, which includes the story missions, has now been detailed by Blizzard. Included in this set are:
- Locked-in entry to Overwatch 2’s Invasion Campaign Missions.
- One thousand Overwatch Coins, the equivalent of $10’s Premium Battle Pass.
- A brand-new Legendary skin for Sojourn, valued at $19.
- For new players, Sojourn’s inclusion as a playable hero is permanent. opened after completing a challenging Story Mission.
The Ultimate Invasion Bundle, available for $40, includes everything listed above plus 20 Battle Pass avoids (valued at $30 by Blizzard), 2000 Overwatch Coins (a $20 value), and 2 additional Legendary skins for Cassidy and Kiriko (valued at $38).
The high prices have, needless to say, turned off many potential customers.
These narrative goals had better be your finest work to date. If they’re not, one user said, “Best of luck charging people for them.” Fees based on achieved results are absurd. Another voice said, “Get a grip.”
They stole content from the game and then charged you to keep the project goals in place. Oh my god.
Eurogamer has reached out to Blizzard Entertainment for comment.
Season 5 of Overwatch 2 is about to begin, and Blizzard has said that players can level up in the “style of a legendary role-playing experience” by using the season’s Battle Pass. This will have “new obstacles and game modes in a high-fantasy style and unlock a new Mythic Adventurer skin for Tracer.”
