It's been one baffling decision after the other from Blizzard when it comes to Overwatch 2, and with its latest announcement that you'll have to pay for the PvE content it didn't cancel, you can add another one to that list. While the release date for the first batch of PvE content, titled Overwatch 2: Invasion, dropped over the weekend during the Xbox showcase, it wasn't until late last night that Blizzard shared some more specific details, most notably that you'll have to fork over $15 in order to even play it.

If paying for Overwatch 2 bundles doesn't bother you, you can also get a more expensive one called the Overwatch 2: Ultimate Invasion Bundle for a much more expensive $40, which gives you everything mentioned above, as well as the Null Sector Premium Battle Pass with 20 Battle Pass skips, an extra 1000 Overwatch Coins (giving you a total of 2000), and two additional Legendary skins for Cassidy and Kiriko.

You'll be able to dive into Overwatch 2: Invasion when it drops August 10, just a couple of months away.

That is what you get for still supporting Blizzard. Well deserved.

Typical Activision / Blizzard stuff, trying to avoid buying games from them forevermore.

The game is free to play of course they're going to charge for new content. "Gamers" looking for outrage clickbait as usual.

How can anyone be surprised by this after how the Necromancer DLC for Diablo III was handled?

It wa supposed to be a full Act and two character classes, and ended up being one class and an Act that was just cobbled together odds and ends, but they still charged the full expansion price for it.

And Overwatch itself was just leftovers from a failed MMO to begin with!

I'm extremely unlikely to get this, but at least it's coming out.
