Overwatch 2 is getting the WoW Classic treatment with a limited-time mode featuring the hero shooter's original 2016 lineup of 21 heroes, 12 maps, and 4 game modes

Overwatch is taking players back to 2016 when the hero shooter first launched with a limited time mode called Overwatch Classic, mirroring Blizzard's titling for the similarly nostalgic World of Warcraft Classic that's its own separate game.

Overwatch Classic is a new game mode that you'll be able to access from Tuesday, November 12 at 9:15am until December 2 at the same time. You'll be able to find it in the Events Hub and in the Arcade in the main menu. Once you boot it up, it'll be like you're playing the first Overwatch when it launched back in May of 2016, complete with the same 21 heroes, 12 maps, and four game modes that were available at release.
