“Redefining a sequel.”

In multiple interviews Jeff stated it was going to be a separate PvE game from the start

Nope! In fact in interviews he said the opposite.

Can’t get much clearer than this haha:

@JeffreyKaplan

I understand OW has both PvP and PvE. My question is how much of the game is going to be PvE? Is it just a few missions or is the majority of the game PvE or what?

It’s both. For PvE we add a full story arc told through story missions (even though it’s a linear story I am reluctant to all it a campaign because it’s co-op, not single player). We’ll also have Hero Missions (which are highly replayable PvE backed by a progression system). The closest analogy (although neither is quite accurate) is Adventure mode in Diablo III or World Quests in WoW (again, not a great analogy but indicative of the level of replay we’re hoping for).

For PvP we’re adding a completely new pool of PvP maps including a new game mode called Push.

For both modes, new heroes will be added.

And again, the original OW2 trailer contained PVP content… I’m not sure how this narrative can even be spun at this point.
