What is Clash in Overwatch 2? PvP game mode explained

Clash is a PvP game mode with five capture points (A-E) “placed in a straight line on a mirrored map.” Only one of these capture points is active at one time, and the match starts with the mid-map capture point (C).

The two teams must then fight for this capture point to progress to the next, getting deeper and deeper into the enemy’s territory with each point captured. You can capture a point by simply standing on it uncontested. The first team to make it all the way (A/E) or capture the most points wins the match.

Overwatch 2 Clash maps

Blizzard confirmed that the first map for Clash will be Hanaoka, a new location set on the much-missed Hanamura. Inspired by the visual themes of the Assault map, players will be able to explore the shops and restaurants around town and get into the iconic Shimada castle.

We expect the next map to be Volskaya, a location also confirmed at BlizzCon. We’ll be sure to update this article if new maps are revealed in the future.
