Overwatch 2 story missions will cost $15 for ‘permanent access,’ Blizzard says

overwatch 2The new Season 5 begins Tuesday, June 13, bringing with it a vaguely Dungeons & Dragons-esque theme for the hero shooter’s Battle Pass and the return of the Summer Games event. the season after that, season 6 overwatch 2, promises to be huge, bringing the long-awaited story missions back to the game for the first time in 2019. Blizzard outlined its plans and prices on Monday overwatch 2 The story mission, which will be part of a season called Invasion.

Story missions, which are different from the recently canceled Hero missions overwatch 2, “Permanent access” will cost $15, says Blizzard. This will give access to three missions set up in Rio de Janeiro, Toronto and Gothenburg (an unreleased map location). Blizzard plans to sell overwatch 2: Assault story missions accessible as part of a bundle that also includes 1,000 Overwatch Coins (the game’s premium currency), and a new Sojourn legendary skin. That bundle will also include access to Sojourn as a hero for players who don’t already have him.

But it looks like even players who don’t pay will have access to story missions, at least for a while. They’re meant to be played as a team, naturally, and trying to match or otherwise fill a five-player team with only players who’ve paid up seems incredibly inconvenient.

For players who prefer to pay more, there is a separate bundle: The overwatch 2: Ultimate Assault Bundle, which costs $40. This includes the original Invasion Bundle, plus:
