Now Playing: Overwatch 2 Launch Trailer

Beyond those two heroes who are intentionally temporarily gone, players also reported that they can’t access other heroes on their roster. Blizzard confirmed the bug and said it is looking into the issue. “The team is aware of a new issue that prevents players from accessing all their owned heroes,” Blizzard said in the Overwatch 2 known issues forum. “This is caused by an issue with our servers that tracks player progression. We are working to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible.”

Overwatch 2 went down for emergency maintenance late in the evening on October 10. But right after the maintenance ended, Blizzard reported another DDOS attack. It seems the company just can’t catch a break during Overwatch 2’s long-awaited launch. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
