What can you expect from Overwatch 2: Invasion's Story Missions?

Invasion takes off after the events of Zero Hour, where the rogue Omnic group, Null Sector, had invaded Paris. It has fallen upon Winston, Tracer, Mei, and other Heroes to take over to save the city from being burnt to ashes. The Null Sector has their eyes set on other major cities on earth, and it will be upto the Overwatch team to defeat them and spoil their plans.

The developer has announced that the Story Missions "will always consist of other human players" and you will not be able to play them on your own like a single-player RPG.

Overall, the arrival of Story Missions to Overwatch 2's PvE setup is an interesting opportunity for everyone to get an all new experience in the game.
