     All confirmed Overwatch 2 maps

Want to find out all confirmed Overwatch 2 maps? If you're eagerly awaiting the Overwatch 2 release date, you may have missed the new confirmed maps for the FPS game. Overwatch 2 also brings back many of the maps from the previous game, several of which which have been adjusted to give them a different feel, alongside all the new Overwatch 2 heroes and its fresh-look 5v5 gameplay.

These maps are available in different modes: Control, Hybrid, Escort, and Push - the new Push mode sees teams battle it out over a robot in a key location, and the team that forces the robot furthest into enemy territory wins the game.

So far we've been able to check out a total of six new maps in Overwatch 2, but more are expected to join the game soon, with locations including New York, Rome, Toronto, Monte Carlo, India, Rio de Janeiro, and Gothenburg. So, here are all the Overwatch 2 maps you will encounter and what you can expect from each one.

     Overwatch 2 heroes: every new hero so far

Want to know about Overwatch 2 heroes? The Overwatch 2 release date is upon us, and the sequel to Blizzard's hero-based FPS game will feature a mixture of returning characters and new faces. As content will be shared across Overwatch 1 and 2, all of the original Overwatch characters will be in the roster. They will be joined by new heroes at launch, with more coming as part of the new Overwatch 2 seasons.

At launch, there will be three new characters joining the ranks of Overwatch 2 heroes. The new model for Overwatch 2 as a free-to-play game is expected to feature nine week-long seasons, and Blizzard says they plan to introduce a new hero to the roster with each alternate season. Therefore we can expect to see a new hero roughly every eighteen weeks, beginning with the game's second season.

Unlike the first game, where all heroes were available to all players, you will now have to unlock future Overwatch 2 heroes from the game's seasonal battle pass. The characters will be on the free track, starting with support character Kiriko who appears at rank 55 of the season 1 pass. Now that's out the way, here's everything we know about the new Overwatch 2 heroes.

     Hearts of Iron 4 DLC drives grand strategy game to record player count

The release of Hearts of Iron 4 DLC By Blood Alone - and developer Paradox Interactive's decision to temporarily make it a free PC game to celebrate - have combined to push the historical WW2 game to its highest ever concurrent Steam player count. Already one of the best grand strategy games on PC, Hearts of Iron 4 has seen plenty of updates since its 2016 release, and By Blood Alone represents the continuation of that process with a huge aircraft overhaul and new focus trees for Switzerland, Ethiopia, and Italy.
