1. Overwatch 2
The 2021 FPS scene is really shaping up to be a year of sequels, though that's certainly not a bad thing. Overwatch 2 will expand on PvE story missions, add new heroes, add new game modes, and have hero abilities the player can unlock and choose between. All cosmetics from the first game will transfer over to the sequel, so veteran players will already have their favorite hero skins from the start.
