When does Overwatch: Invasion release?
Set for Season 6, Overwatch: Invasion will release on all platforms on August 10. Included in the content update will be the long-rumored story missions, a new mode titled 'Flashpoint,' a series of 'hero mastery' trials, a firing range, and a new support Hero.
