According to a demo guide obtained by ESPN, Blizzard will announce the sequel to Overwatch during BlizzCon 2019, which begins Friday. Some of the information that will be revealed include a PvE mode called "Push," a new hero ("Echo"), and a new map based on Toronto. A playable build will reportedly be available for attendees to try.

Hero talents and in-game items are coming to Overwatch 2 PvE, and one of the missions will be a four-player story experience set in Rio de Janeiro, as opposed to the 6v6 gameplay in the original Overwatch, according to the document. Blizzard did not respond to a request for comment.

Assemble a new team to fight protesters in Hong Kong. For every match won 2$ will be donated to the police. /Sarcasm

I think I'm an outlier, but I am looking forward to PvE content. There were occasional PvE special events in OW that I enjoyed, but I never could get into the competitive scene.
