Overwatch 2 was announced with much fanfare at BlizzCon 2019. Sadly, we haven’t seen much of this long-awaited sequel since its original reveal, which seems to be a reflection of the plight that Blizzard has been in for a few years now. While the release date remains a mystery, new rumors seem to indicate that a Beta is apparently coming very soon.
This information comes from various sources, among which we find the popular youtuber WorstSombra and the Twitter user FireTheGull, who presented some evidence that seems to indicate that Blizzard will announce a test period for the hero shooter sooner rather than later.

When will the Overwatch 2 Beta arrive?
According to youtuber WorstSombra, several content creators had a secret meeting with Blizzard a few weeks ago. It is speculated that the meeting discussed the imminent release of a Beta version of Overwatch 2.
To give some truth to his theory, WorstSombra uploaded a video where he compiles clips from the live broadcasts of the streamers who allegedly participated in the secret meeting. From the footage we can see that content creators are very cautious when talking about recent competitive shooter news.
Additionally, user FireTheGull commented on his Twitter account that it is very likely that Blizzard will announce and launch the Beta of Overwatch 2 in about 3 weeks, which seems to coincide with the start of the new Overwatch League season.
We must remember that Blizzard announced a few months ago that professional players will play a preliminary version of the sequel during the 2022 season, which will start in April. In this way, it would not be unreasonable to think that the Beta will arrive at the beginning of March.
Finally, the Twitter user explains that a recent Battle.net platform update added a suspicious file that seems to hint at the imminent arrival of a Beta. Of course, he stated that he is not an insider, so his speculations should not be taken as confirmation.
OW2 Beta is very likely releasing / being announced in about 3 weeks. Router update for some game services like battle net included an update for overwatch with _demo in it, or something similar.
Someone on the forums provided evidence as well.
Expect big news soon (imo)

Considering my last one caught some attention, I’ll say this now:
I AM NOT A VERIFIED SOURCE, NOR AN INSIDER.
I have SOME, literally fucking SOME VERY SMALL INSIDE INFO. I do NOT have enough to confirm ANYTHING about OW2 at all.
I am just speculating based on recent events.

Of course, we reinforce that feeling and remember that this information lacks official confirmation. Therefore, we recommend taking it with a grain of salt and waiting for Blizzard to confirm or deny these rumors.
