It is in a mixture of relief and excitement that Overwatch players, who had until then had to content themselves with interventions from the developers and some admittedly detailed videos, learned that Blizzard would very soon be organizing a first closed beta pour Overwatch 2.

A specific date for the closed beta of Overwatch 2!

A sign that development has reached a new stage, and that we are slowly but surely getting closer to an exit. At the end of January, Mike Ybarra, the director of Blizzard, had indicated that we would have news of Warcraft and Overwatch soon, and it is done. World of Warcraft will soon have a new extension, and Overwatch 2 will be approached at the end of aprilI. We didn’t have a more specific date to share with you until then, but Blizzard has taken matters into their own hands. The game beta will open its doors on April 26and will directly follow an alpha phase organized for developers and professional players.
