Indicators of the success of a game do not always rely on the number of copies sold or the number of users who download it. For publishers, data metrics such as the average game time spent by each player are also often used as bragging material, especially to investors, as an indication that their games are liked. However, quite a few games end up manipulating the system and mechanics so that gamers, like it or not, have to spend a long time trying out their games. In Overwatch 2, this investment of time is all you need to unlock each of the newest characters locked in the Battle Pass.
The grinding process is tiring for gamers who don't want to spend a single penny. Luckily, it ended up being changed by Blizzard. Together with the presence of the next hero – Venture, Overwatch 2 will stop locking the newest heroes behind the Battle Pass. So instead of having to sacrifice a lot of time to unlock them like before, the new hero will be available immediately to try. The cool news again? Characters who have gone through this process, such as Mauga, Illari, and Lifeweaver, will also be immediately available starting from Season 10 in April 2024.
Overwatch 2 will no longer lock new heroes behind the battle pass starting from Season 10 in April 2024.
The availability of these new heroes of course only applies to Overwatch 2 gamers who have completed the mission to unlock the original heroes. How about you? Welcome this news?
