Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase, Overwatch 2: Invasion is adding PvE story missions to the popular multiplayer shooter. This massive update, which also includes co-op events, training modes, and a new character, arrives on August 10, which presumably marks the start of Season 6.

　　It was recently revealed that Blizzard's big plans for hero-focused story content were being scrapped. At the time, the developer said that PvE content and story-focused missions would still come to Overwatch 2, but not in the same ambitious way. The Invasion update appears to include those missions, with blizzard touting three Null Sector focused missions that can be played together.
