Both the alpha and the first beta will be primarily testing the new 5v5 mode, four new maps, a new Push mode, and the new hero Sojourn.Īaron Keller did indicate in the announcement video that there will be several waves of beta testing throughout the year, which will target new maps and new heroes. This will be followed by the first closed public beta in late April anyone can sign up to be chosen for it on the official Overwatch website, and the testing information will not be restricted so expect your favorite streamers to be able to provide an early look. The first wave of testing will be an NDA-enforced closed alpha, and limited mainly to Blizzard employees as well as Overwatch League team members. The bigger bombshell is the decoupling of PVP and PVE and what this might mean for the game’s eventual release.
That the PVP changes are being tested is not a surprise - the next Overwatch League season begins on May 5, and will be played on an early build of Overwatch 2 that will have the new 5v5 mode implemented. The Overwatch team and game director Aaron Keller announced today that Overwatch 2 is moving into the testing phase, with the PVP modes being tested first and the PVE mode will come later.
