Blizzard Entertainment released Overwatch 2: Invasion for Overwatch, their cross-platform, team-based action game. Players can join the heroes answering the call to save the world with three Overwatch 2: Invasion Story Missions, entering the fray with the new Peruvian support hero Illari. Players can also test their mettle on two huge maps in the new Flashpoint PvP mode.

The Update Includes:

  • New Support hero, Illari: The 38th hero to join the game’s roster, Illari is Overwatch’s first Peruvian hero. Drawing her power from the sun, her medium- and long-range abilities allow her to both heal and harm as she sees fit.

  • Underworld co-op mission: Join your friends in a limited-time Event mission that takes place in a previously unexplored area of King’s Row and face-off against new enemies from Null Sector. Weekly modifiers will be applied, giving players new challenges all season long.
  • New Hero Progression System: Gain experience with your favorite heroes and progress your overall player level to earn unique Name Cards and other rewards. The new progression system tracks and displays players’ gameplay style and progress for each of the game’s 38 heroes through an all-new interface.
