Overwatch 2 Launch Times Revealed, Now Available For Pre-Downloading

It’s the end of an era for Overwatch as the servers go down for the final time in preparation for the official launch of Overwatch 2 tomorrow. As previously noted, the sequel-slash-expansion-slash-reboot will completely replace the original game with new 5v5 mechanics and a free-to-play business model, among other changes to the competitive hero shooter and three new heroes: Sojourn, Junker Queen, and Kiriko.

Here are the scheduled launch times for each region:

Overwatch 2 is now available for pre-download on Battle.net and Blizzard has posted the launch times for each region along with a pre-launch checklist for new players, owners of the original game, and those who purchased the Watchpoint Pack. The servers will simultaneously come back online tomorrow at 12 p.m. PDT for those in the US and 9 p.m. CEST for those on the other side of the pond.

Note that tomorrow’s launch will only include the PvP portion of the game, with PvE content and co-op set to arrive sometime next year.
