Hero Missions

Hero Missions are a game mode in Overwatch 2. They make use of the game's talents system. For each mission, the heroes are pre-set. They have some similarity with Story Experience missions, but while Story Experience is more narrative based, Hero Missions are designed to be highly replayable (though will feature some light story elements). Objectives in the mission will vary each time they're played; for instance, a holdout mission in Watchpoint: Gibraltar, or taking out a Null Sector Behemoth in Route 66. Hero missions take place in pre-existing multiplayer maps, but additional areas will sometimes be added.

Environmental effects are also present (e.g. sandstorms) as well as day-night cycles.

Null Sector and Talon will serve as the initial antagonists in the mode, but it has been indicated that new factions could be introduced later.

Hundreds of hero missions are expected to be released.
