Nintendo Download: The Next Era of Heroes Approaches

It’s “Overwatch 2” week on the Switch, as the multiplayer shooter-sequel blasts onto Nintendo’s system, along with a ton of smaller launches.

Who’s on Overwatch?

Now, Overwatch 2 doesn’t land on the Switch till October 4th, but that’s technically still within this September 30th Nintendo Download. So don’t get all excited thinking it’s arriving before all the other platforms get their editions. If you’re a fan of the original though, there’s still plenty of reasons to get psyched.

Blizzard’s sequel introduces new heroes to play as, and 5v5 action that’s promised to be “reimagined”. Will it be enough to lure back lapsed Overwatch players looking for something original? That’s the million dollar question.

Past Overwatch 2, there’s both a ton of stuff and… kinda not much. There’s FIFA 23, so if you’re a soccer fan you’ll wanna have a look at that, but past it there’s mainly smaller and more niche stuff landing.

Scroll down to have a full look at what’s coming up.
