<h4>shadow</h4>
The reworked black shadow emphasizes the output more, and the specific update is as follows:
Drastically reduces the cooldown time of the Hacker skill, but the time for enemies to disable the skill will also be shortened;
Enemy partition walls that have been "hacked" are visible;
The Ultimate ability no longer removes shields, but can deal damage to enemies;
Passive abilities deal additional damage to affected units;
"Hacking" can be released in stealth.
<h4>fortress</h4>
The reworked fortress will be more flexible in action, as updated below:
New ability to unleash projectiles, ammo that bounces through walls to kill enemies;
The original "self-healing" skill was removed;
In "reconnaissance mode", the weapon no longer spreads, but the rate of fire is reduced;
The ultimate skill is changed to "Artillery Mode", which can be selected from three map points to launch artillery strikes;
Can be moved in Sentinel Mode, but has a skill cooldown.
Officials also unveiled a new shape for the fort. According to the plot, the fortress meets and becomes friends with Tobion. With the help of Tobion, the appearance of the fortress was changed somewhat, and torbian's old hat was put on. At the same time, the little bird "Nini" will still accompany the fortress.
<h4>The new model "maneuver propulsion"</h4>
The exhibition shows Overwatch 2's new map "Rome", and the new mode "Mobile Propulsion" will replace the existing "A and B point attack and defense" mode. The team size will be reduced to 5 people.
In the "maneuver propulsion" mode, both sides need to guide the neutral robot "cart" within a specified time. After the game, the system calculates the propulsion distance of both sides, and the side that advances more distance will win.
Overwatch 2 is confirmed to be available on the PS4/ Xbox One / PC / Switch platform, and the release date is uncertain.
