The long wait for “The dawn of a new Overwatch” is almost over, with the latest version of the hugely popular shooter set for release on October 4th – or so reports suggest. Better yet, the Overwatch 2 Beta sign-ups went live today, giving keen fans of the game a small chance of playing it before anyone else. The closed beta will begin on June 28th but sign-ups have started today, June 16th – with an official sign-up post over at the game’s official webpage.

Overwatch 2 was announced way back in 2019 at Blizzcon, with a legendary trailer you can watch again below. The new game will be sure to bring new heroes, new abilities, and new maps, in the same high-octane, competitive style.

Can you pre order Overwatch 2?

After what feels like an eternity, Overwatch 2 finally has an official release date. The new-look, character-based shooter will hit shelves on October 4th, 2022.

Despite early reports suggesting that the new title would cost £54.99 – with UK’s GAME listing a pre-order page with this pricing – it looks like Blizzard is taking a free-to-play approach. That being said, an Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack is available, costing $39.99 – very crafty.

The Overwatch 2 beta sign-up is already underway and all you need to do is head to the games website. Players can sign-up today and get access as early as June 28th. If you aren’t lucky enough to get access to the first batch of Beta codes, fear not, there will be a second chance at glory, with all users becoming eligible to play the beta by July 14th.

If you can get access to the beta then, like always, it is free. The next phase would possibly be a closed beta, which may tie in with pre orders and possible pre order bonuses. Games such as Battlefield 2042 and Call of Duty: Vanguard all offered pre order bonuses such as beta access, along with skins and other cosmetics. It would be interesting to see if anything similar happens with OW 2. Based on this, it is probably best to hold off on the GAME pre order just for now to wait and see what buying options Blizzard announces in the near future.

Overwatch 2 pre order price

Early pre order pages from retailers like game suggested that pricing would be £54.99 for the new Overwatch shooter. However, since then, the buying page has been removed. This is most likely due to the actual price of $39.99 being available over at Xbox.com.

With the original Overwatch, there were three buying options: Standard Edition, Origins Edition, and the Collectors Edition, which ranged from somewhere around £35 – £100. Seeing how invested gamers are in this esport it wouldn’t be crazy to think something similar will happen again.

The current games Collectors Edition featured cosmetics like character skins, a figurine, and a soundtrack disc but it would be nice to see some form of loyalty/ pre order bonus for everyone that buys OW 2 early.

The Overwatch 2 Watchpoint pack is the latest bundle that offers up a tonne of goodies, including a game that you can actually play right now.
