1 hour only for Overwatch 2, huh

General Discussion
1

In case you didn’t know, the Blizzcon schedule was just announced:

The opening ceremony lasts 1h10m which about 20 or 25 minutes would be dedicated to OW and OW2 I imagine.

And right after that, there is an “Overwatch 2 behind the scenes” panel that last 40 minutes, that’s roughly 1 hour or so of OW reveals.

After 16 LONG MONTHS of waiting, that’s all we get… dang.

I am not complaining, it’s certainly better than nothing, but still… the hell are they even gonna show?? do they even have anything to show?

If they had some awesome things to show, you’d think the panels would be longer.

DIABLO Has more panels and more time than OW2!

Sadness…

No it’s not, I’m serious.

Why is Overwatch 2 getting very little news?

what are you expecting, theres a good chance there will be some gameplay, updates on development, possibly some heroes or maps for ow2, its not going to take a whole day for that. plus theres nothing stopping them releasing content outside of blizzcon which theyve done in the past

Chill out bud. It’s just a videogame. Not being mean, just trying to help. Perspective.

That’s still on day 1 (19th)

i feel like the 1h10min ceremony won’t be about OW2 at all…

Do you understand that nearly two hours is a LOT of time to reveal stuff? That’s about as long as most feature-length movies. Chances are we’re gonna get SOME valuable information.

You seriously think that a game event deserves more than 2 hours? Really? Like, the undivided attention of 5 hours in a row of your time?

It’s important to make events manageable for the viewers. It’s already a full movie, time-wise.

Opening Ceremony

07:00 PM - 08:10 PM -02

Behind the Scenes of Overwatch 2

08:10 PM - 08:50 PM -02

It’s in sequence.
In fact you can click on the 20th on the far right in a purple bar above the table.

Um what? The ceremony is from 1:30 AM to 2:40 AM (in my time zone). The OW2 stuff is after that. How is the ceremony taking a majority of OW2’s time?

Blizzard became 30 and I’m sure this will be the theme of the opening ceremony, a look at the past

The Opening Ceremony is for everything, including generic greetings and summaries that ZERO viewers tune in for. So we will get approx 10 minutes of that time for us.

Ohhhhh waiiitt… you’re right lol xD

Well, I am dumb xD

It says it’s on day 2 cause when Blizzcon starts, it’s already 11pm here where I live.

And when it’s 12:10am here… it’s Feb 2nd also…

I see I see… if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have noticed!

My thanks.

I live in South America, so it’s on the same day for me as in North America (but with some hours ahead in the day), that’s why I noticed you wrote something different.

Because? People are frustrated that Blizz kills OW1. They surly want a new playerbase with the launch of OW2. They already have everything from us that they wanted so why waste time for OW1?

We just exist to test the balance for the current heroes for OW2 launch so not even a alpha for OW2 so to speak ^^
