The Overwatch 2 beta has recently wrapped up, but fans have more things to look forward to. Overwatch Anniversary Remix: Volume 2 is here, plus, Overwatch 2 plans are set to be announced pretty soon. With that, there are so many exciting things fans can look forward to. 

'Overwatch 2 Beta'

So, how was the Overwatch 2 Beta? Many users were happy with it. Adam Keller, the Overwatch 2 director thanked the participants who shared their thoughts about the game, according to a report by The Verge. 

"It can be scary putting something that means so much to you out there for other people to look at. Especially when you know that it's not finished and you're asking for people's real and valid criticisms of what you've made," he said. 

What do the critics have to say about the beta version? So far, they have given the game a lukewarm reception. Some critics said that the game failed to recapture the highs on Twitch. Overall, the beta version was just okay.

'Overwatch Anniversary Remix: Volume 2'

The Overwatch Anniversary Remix: Volume 2 event will run from May 17 to June 7. 

Once again, all the cosmetics from the previous event are available to unlock in the Hero Gallery or in loot boxes. There are some new versions of fan-favorite skins as well and a chance to get previous challenge skins. 

It also brings back past seasonal brawls for a limited time. Brawls from the Summer Games, Halloween Terror, Archives, Year of the Tiger, and Winter Wonderlands will be playable on a rotating schedule. 

Every week, there will be new rewards you can unlock. However, you will need to play a total of 27 games every week to unlock every reward. 

On the 1st week, the rewards are Dr. Ziegler Player Icon, Lab Coat & Evaluation Sprays, and Legendary Dr. Ziegler Mercy Skin. Mardi Gras Ashe and Bob Player Icons, Gold Mask Spray, and Epic Mardi Gras Ashe Skin are the rewards for the second week. 

Get Maestro Sigma Player Icon, Maestro Emote, and Legendary Maestro Sigma Skin on week 3. 

'Overwatch 2' Plans

Blizzard has recently announced that a special Overwatch 2 event will be coming on June 16, 2022. At this event, developers will share their plans for the coming months and information about the Overwatch 2 beta. 

Keller said, "Overwatch as a world, as a universe, is deeply personal to the team; something that we pour our time, creative energies, and passion into." 

With the beta version, it would be interesting to see how developers will tweak and rework the game's heroes. It's likely that we'll get a sneak peek of the changes at the June event. Furthermore, many heroes need help, so hopefully, Blizzard can help these characters out to fit better in to the 5v5 era. 

Currently, Overwatch 2 doesn't have a release date, but fans are expecting to see it in 2023.
