Curiously enough, there’s a new mode called ‘push,’ and not much is known about it. Developers have also mentioned a new ping system.

Additionally, some existing heroes like Orisa, Doomfist, Bastion, and Sombra will be changing. The PVP beta kickoffs in late April and players should be quick to sign up for all the upcoming things. The PVP beta will likely have limited access to ensure a smooth server experience.
