Overwatch 2 will feature full cross-play and cross-progression, as it shifts from the original's 6v6 format to 5v5. Previously revealed new heroes like Sojourn and Junker Queen will be unlocked for free for all players who log in during the game's first season. Players who purchase the game's premium battle pass will unlock new heroes like Kiriko instantly, whereas free players will need to progress their battle pass to unlock them. Kiriko is a kunai-throwing ninja who is aided by a guardian fox spirit that will aid allies, and who's mother served as a mentor for characters like Hanzo and Genji. A new support hero, Kiriko, will be unlocked via progressing the game's free battle pass (or unlocked immediately for existing Overwatch players). Unlike its predecessor, Overwatch 2 will be free-to-play and will ditch loot boxes in favor of a battle pass system, which Blizzard has recently shared new details about.
