When last we heard, Overwatch 2 is coming out “when it’s ready.” Unfortunately, we’ve heard that before, and it didn’t turn out so well. Since the PvE modes are supposed to expand on the plot the team now has to go back and somehow make sense of everything and fit it into a larger picture. It’s obvious that the story segments shown in comics and animated shorts are just made up on the spot. Kaplan’s departure has to have set development back as the team adjusted to the change, and we haven’t got much info about the game since the initial reveal.Īnother thing that could be delaying the release is the lack of a coherant vision for the game’s universe. Overwatch 2 is unlikely to be canceled, but it’s almost certainly been delayed. However, it also might be a result of poor working conditions inside Blizzard.

It’s likely this is a combination of COVID-related issues and the team switching focus to Overwatch 2. While many have drawn a connection to Blow’s criticism and Pepé’s removal from Space Jam 2, Pepé’s single scene in the film was removed several months. While Overwatch saw many new updates, events, characters, and maps over its first few years, content releases have slowed significantly over the last year and a half.
