The Reign Of Talon Begins Today With The Launch Of Overwatch Season 1: Conquest

As promised during a spotlight video last week, the Reign of Talon begins today. The year-long story has begun in Overwatch (formerly Overwatch 2). In addition to being the free-to-play team shooter’s first annual story arc, Season 1: Conquest is also hopping right into things by dropping five new Heroes at once – really getting things rolling to put out a total of ten Heroes before the end of the year. (Yes, that includes the cat.)

In this story, players are asked to choose sides in a five-week faction war. Do you wish to help Overwatch or Talon? The faction war will be affected by how players approach things. Complete missions to progress, unlock lore, and earn faction-specific cosmetics. It’s okay to be a traitor too and switch factions so you can get all the lore and the goodies.
