Responses on YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and the Blizzard forums frame a spectrum of disappointment. Yeah, this is bad,' writes another.Įveryone – including some developers at Blizzard – seems to agree that the whole situation just plain sucks, even if it is billed as a sacrifice necessary for the health of the game. 'Skills is what most of the players were waiting for. 'They basically just told me they are scrapping the only thing I was really looking forward to in this game,' says one forum user. 'Massively disappointing,' echoes No_Catch_1490.

'Wasn't this the entire pitch for OW2? Like, I don't even know what to say. More details will be announced soon by the developer.'So you're telling me we went through years of no content just for 5v5 and Push?!' asks Redditor soverain in one of the subreddit mega thread's most-upvoted comments. The decision to scrap the originally planned PvE mode means that the proposed talent system and hero mode, among other features, have also been canceled.Īlthough the ambitious PvE plan for Overwatch 2 is officially scrapped, the team promised that there will be story missions and co-op modes with PvE elements set to be released as seasonal content in the future. Neuss stated that the team couldn't see an end to this process, so they faced a dilemma of either fully commit to developing the PvE content and completing it at some point, or focus on the current multiplayer game mode services. However, in a recent livestream, producer Jared Neuss confirmed that the development of the PvE mode has been canceled, as the overall development did not make the expected progress, and integrating such a grand vision together would require tremendous effort. One of the biggest highlights when Overwatch 2 was officially announced was perhaps its planned PvE Hero Mode, where players will be able to perform a series of cooperative missions to explore more about the story and plot of Overwatch.
