The big Overwatch 2: Invasion season kicks off in just a couple days, and Blizzard has dropped a new overview trailer, providing a peek at some new features they haven’t detailed publicly yet. The big reveal is Illari, the game’s new sun-themed Peruvian support hero. We see her bringing the fight aggressively with a large rifle and a sun-powered ability that seems to propel her into the air, but, again, she’s a support hero, so we know some healing abilities are also part of her kit. Look for more info on her when Invasion launches in a couple of days. For now, you can check out the new Overwatch 2: Invasion trailer, below.

　　In addition to Illari, Blizzard also shows off a few other things. Flashpoint is the series’ first new core game mode since the somewhat divisive Push introduced alongside Overwatch 2, and promises larger battles on custom-designed maps. Meanwhile, Blizzard is also adding the new Hero Mastery single-player missions that will test your abilities with individual characters. Of course, you can also expect new PvP maps and the usual array of battle pass and paid cosmetic content.

　　This is all on top of the new Overwatch 2: Invasion PvE story missions, which are being sold separately for $15. These new missions will be set on their own custom-built maps and offer new story content and unique challenges. As the title implies, Invasion sees Null Sector, the militant Omnic liberation group led by Ramattra, launching a full-on attack on multiple fronts, but, of course, there’s probably more going on here than meets the eye. You can check out a trailer for the Invasion PvE missions here.

　　Overwatch 2: Invasion comes as Blizzard struggles to turn around the game’s declining engagement numbers and the Overwatch League looks to be on its last legs. Will Invasion be the shot in the arm the game needs? That remains to be seen, but there’s no denying it looks like a pretty solid update.

　　Overwatch 2 can be played on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5. The Invasion season kicks off on August 10.
