Why Overwatch 2's Story Missions Will Leave Gamers Speechless

Players of Overwatch 2 can now enjoy permanent access to the game's story missions for a fee of $15. Initially, the game's PvE campaign was the major draw for fans. However, Blizzard's plans for Overwatch 2 have undergone significant changes, including the elimination of the Hero Mode and the shift towards a free-to-play experience. Despite disappointment over the cancellation of Hero Mode, fans were relieved to learn that story missions would still be included. Initially, it was unclear whether the missions would be permanent or seasonal, but it has now been confirmed that they are permanent for those willing to pay the fee. The first story missions are set to be released with Season 6 on August 10 as part of the Invasion update.

In the upcoming Invasion update for Overwatch 2, players will have access to three new story missions set in Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, and Gothenburg. These missions will feature expansive maps with intricate objectives and a deep storyline that pits players against the nefarious Null Sector group. While the story will continue in future seasons of the game, those who want to experience the full narrative from the beginning can purchase the Invasion Bundle for $15. This bundle includes permanent access to the story missions, 1,000 Overwatch Coins, a legendary skin for Sojourn, and access to Sojourn in other game modes. It's worth noting that future story missions may follow a similar pricing model. Additionally, players can opt for the Ultimate Invasion bundle for $40, which includes all content from the regular bundle, the Null Sector Premium Battle Pass with 20 tier skips, an extra 1,000 Overwatch Coins, and legendary skins for Cassidy and Kiriko.

Some Overwatch 2 fans are excited to hear that the game will feature story missions, while others are disappointed to learn that permanent access to the game will require purchasing the bundle. Although the bundle will be available for purchase indefinitely, some players have expressed their frustration with this decision. However, those who join the game in later seasons can still enjoy the story from the beginning by paying $15. Currently, Overwatch 2 is available for early access on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
