The second Overwatch Closed Beta is now underway in the US and Europe, but what exactly has changed since the original beta? Blizzard has posted detailed info on a new mode, maps and player progression system in a series of blogs.
New Game Mode – Control: Two teams fight over a series of objective areas in a best-of-three format. When a team is in control of the round’s objective area, they will make progress toward capturing it, and whichever team gets to 100% first wins the round. Each round (up to 3 total) will feature a new objective area located in a different part of the map.
Two Control maps are currently available for testing: Lijiang Tower and Nepal.
You can read up on the new Progression System over on Battle.net.
Game director Jeff Kaplan has also discussed what the Overwatch development team has been working on since December.
The closed beta is for PC only, but the game will launch this spring for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
