What Are the New Game Modes in Overwatch 2?
The three new game modes for Overwatch 2 are Push, Story Experience, and Hero Missions. Push is a PVP game mode that can be experienced upon the game’s release however both Story Experience and Hero Missions are PVE game modes that won’t be released until later.
The goal of Push is to gain control of a robot called Clive and push him to the enemy spawn point. There are checkpoints throughout the map that Clive will stop for a bit and rest on. Capture these checkpoints unlock forward spawn points which further benefit your side. The win goes to the team who manages to push Clive to the enemy spawn or the team who pushed Clive the furthest distance.
As for Story Experience and Hero Missions, it seems that Overwatch 2 is catering to players who have been asking for more story based missions in the game.
