Overwatch 2 introduces a new hero, Sojourn, and reworks several others, as Jai detailed last month. There’s a Beta Bash livestream on the PlayOverwatch Twitch channel tomorrow at 11am PDT/7pm BST showing off both Sojourn and the new 5v5 teams. Another way to land beta access is to link your Twitch and Battle.net accounts for Twitch Drops and watch Overwatch 2 beta streams from the channels listed on Blizzard’s site. Overwatch 2 has plenty more betas yet to come so don’t fret if you miss nabbing access to this one. Activision Blizzard are still contending with legal issues and reports alleging a discriminatory and harassing working environment. The Overwatch team tried to distance themselves from some of this when they renamed McCree in October. This year, Microsoft has acquired the company for $69 billion (£50 billion) and Blizzard Entertainment head Mike Ybarra has said he’s committed to fostering change. There still seem to be a fair few ongoing staff welfare concerns at Actiblizz, though. It’s still not certain when Overwatch 2 will launch in full yet, as the game was delayed to some unknown time at the end of last year, possibly until 2023. This first beta lasts until May 17th.
