Overwatch 2: These Might Be the Campaign's Playable Characters

Rumors and leaks have been swirling aboutOverwatch 2, with all signs pointing to Blizzard revealing the long-awaited hero shooter on November 1 at BlizzCon 2019. Multiple leaks have claimed thatOverwatch 2will have a PvE focus and will feature a 4-player co-op campaign, which was recently confirmed by the big ESPN leak. The ESPN leak didn’t mention who the playable characters may be in theOverwatch 2campaign, but an older leak may provide some insight into the matter.

Prior to the big ESPN leak, some of the biggestOverwatch 2leakscame courtesy of Twitter user Metro_OW, who has posted accurateOverwatchleaks in the past. Metro_OW detailed anOverwatch 2cinematic that will supposedly be shown at BlizzCon 2019 come November 1. Apparently, the cinematic will feature most of the currentOverwatchheroes, but the “main ones” will be a young Genji, Mei, Tracer, and Winston. TheOverwatch 2logo will then appear at the end of the cinematic.

It’s interesting that Blizzard would choose four specific characters to highlight more than the rest of theOverwatchroster, and this could be an indication that they are the four playable heroes for the campaign. However, we must stress that this is just speculation at this time. We don’t know much about theOverwatch 2campaign, and it’s possible that it will let players choose any character from the roster. It’s also possible that it will have four specific characters for players to choose from, but who are different from the ones listed here.

Luckily, fans won’t have to wait too much longer to learn 2. It’s more or less confirmed at this point thatOverwatch 2will be unveiled at BlizzCon 2019. At the event, we should get some clarification about the game’s PvE campaign, and who the playable characters will be. Maybe if fans are lucky, we will even get to see actual gameplay of the campaign in action.

In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what else we may learn aboutOverwatch 2at BlizzCon 2019. Some rumors have claimed that the new hero Echo will be unveiled, but other rumors have argued against that. We’ll find out this coming Friday, November 1.
