Overwatch, released by Blizzard Entertainment in 2016, managed to dominate the game world, especially in its early years. The game, in which teams of 6 people face each other and each character has their own unique abilities, completes its life today.
Blizzard is closing the servers of the first Overwatch today, as the hours have started to count for Overwatch 2. Players will no longer be able to access Overwatch as of 19:00 CET. Thus, one more legend of the history of the game will be buried in the dusty pages.
When is Overwatch 2 releasing?
Overwatch 2, which will replace Overwatch, will be available on October 4 at 22:00 CEST. The game will be completely free to play. Overwatch 2 will feature more characters and content than the original game.
What will happen to your old Overwatch account?
Your Overwatch account will be imported directly into Overwatch 2, along with any cosmetics and resources it has. It is estimated that especially the classic cosmetics in the original game will make a difference among Overwatch 2 players and these accounts will be more valuable.
