How to unlock all heroes

Overwatch 2 marked a new beginning for Blizzard Entertainment’s award-winning heroic FPS. It became a free-to-play model with the controversial monetization of a premium seasonal battle pass and purchasable tokens as in-game currency. Some changes from the previous game also include the new push maps and a 5v5 team format.

While there are some minor changes from the first game, one of Overwatch’s major overhauls involves the first-time user experience. New players are slowly being introduced to Overwatch 2, with limited access to the game’s cast and past characters.

Most of the Overwatch 2 hero roster can be unlocked by completing gameplay challenges, gaining experience, or using the Premium Battle Pass. Ranking the Battle Pass requires players to earn XP through challenges and matches.

Rivalry’s handy guide details exactly how to unlock all heroes in Overwatch 2including: how to unlock Kiriko, Ramattra, Sojourn and Junker Queen, the latest additions to the list.
