The developers of Overwatch 2 have announced that they will be hosting a PvP Beta test event in the next few weeks.

The next iteration of the hugely popular hero-based first-person shooter has been in development for some time with Activision Blizzard set to move the series on, with their aspirations of taking it to the next level.
