Overwatch 2 Talents List
Each hero has a set of new abilities they can unlock over time if they level up. It should be noted, however, that the Overwatch 2 talents are limited to Hero Missions and won’t factor into PvP. The Overwatch 2 PvE release date is still some ways away – so these talents may change. There are also a few talents that we don’t know of yet, though we’ll update this guide when we find more. Now that’s out the way, here are the Overwatch 2 talents.
The Overwatch 2 talents are:

And there you have it, all the Overwatch 2 talents we have found so far. We’ll keep this guide updated with other talents we find. In the meantime, read up on all of the Overwatch 2 characters coming to the game, as well as a breakdown of the Overwatch 2 roles so you know what to expect. We’ve also got an Overwatch 2 tier list which outlines the heroes coming out on top in the current meta, and an Overwatch 2 maps primer to help you master the current PvP game modes.
