The developers of free-to-play hero shooter Overwatch 2 are temporarily turning back the clock for some classic Overwatch fun.
Return to the thrilling gameplay experience that started it all in Overwatch: Classic limited time mode, kicking off November 12. Play with the original hero roster, their classic abilities, and enjoy the chaotic fun of 6v6. Journey back to iconic maps like Hanamura, Temple of Anubis, Volskaya Industries, and more. Group up with friends, old and new, as you experience the fun and camaraderie of early Overwatch.
To celebrate the announcement, the team rolled out the official trailer you can find above. For three weeks, you’re back to having two tanks and pushing that payload in 6v6. Enjoy the good old classic gameplay with zero limits – besides the event time duration.
“Eight years ago, Blizzard released a completely new gaming world called Overwatch. Connected by a theme of fighting for the future, millions of you jumped in to experience new heroes like a time-jumping adventurer, an esports champion turned mech pilot, and a genetically-modified gorilla from the Moon. Now you’ll be able to relive the nostalgia in a series of new limited-time events in Overwatch 2, where you can experience the original heroes, abilities, and maps in the classic 6v6 team-based action you remember. Get ready to answer the call for Overwatch: Classic.”
