This reduced some of the negative chattering about Overwatch 2, but skepticism remained as the game continued to be delayed. In 2021, Blizzard explained some new hero reworks to keep the game balanced with the new 5v5 team comps. Why couldn't new heroes and new game modes and new maps just be added to the first game?īlizzard attempted to share more details about the game in 2020, showing off new hero designs, updated weapon effects, and campaign-style gameplay for each hero, complete with skill trees and new abilities.

It seemed more like DLC for the first game, confusing the Overwatch community. Many players started to feel as though Overwatch 2 wasn't bringing enough to deserve an entirely new ($60) game. But as more information came out about Overwatch 2, the community was a bit skeptical. This made sense to fans of the game at first.

Blizzard explained that the sequel would become the team's focus, explaining why Overwatch was not going to get any more new heroes or content. Is the game actually going to be released? Or will it keep getting delayed until it's forgotten by the gaming community altogether? Overwatch 2 has been discussed for years.
