Overview

• Season six will introduce a new support hero, firing range, player progression system, and Flashpoint map along with the story missions.
• Blizzard has cancelled the hero mode for Overwatch 2's PvE side due to difficulties creating progression for many characters and enemies.
• Blizzard is focusing on the live game rather than hero missions.
• There will still be PvE experiences like story missions and hero mastery missions, but the original vision for Overwatch 2's PvE is dead.
