Blizzard released a trailer for the new update for Overwatch 2, titled Invasion, promising new game modes, including story missions with PvE and cutscenes, at the Xbox Showcase on June 11.
The trailer showed off new game modes, new maps, and the long-awaited story missions that Blizzard has promised since the game was released.

Invasion will focus on story missions, with Null Sector invading the city of Toronto and rounding up all the omnics that inhabit it.

The story missions are predicted to focus on saving the city of Toronto from the invading Null Sector force that threatens the world with another human-omnic war.
