Is anyone surprised? A near whole year of a crippling pandemic, of course things are going to be delayed

Given the covid situation in LA, I imagine not.

No, it means that it’s not releasing this year, period.

Im fine with that, what i would like to see is actual communication on it, maybe info on progress, some redesign/upgrades showed from time to time to pass the time. Make like jokes or talk about what was problematic thing to make so far that they want to implement, idk.

Sometimes, you just have to be negative all the time you live. At least im that kind of person, people say i should stop, but im just too deep now.

Okay then can they like…do SOMETHING with OW1? Maybe we can get the updated graphics engine? I don’t know jack about such things but that would be nice if possible…or another hero or two…the new mode…new maps? This game needs things to keep going. Not trying to sound needy, but they can’t go another year or longer without REAL content =/

I would also not mind a permanent beta…even if it is tiny. I would take a couple sample PvE missions that I can play whenever (not some whack 3 day beta bs)

Yay another year without any meaningful content.

i think they might realise (my spelling sucks) that fox girl as a new hero? it would be the best option seeing how long we have to wait.

Technically this is not official, but it is a trusted source unlike the previous ones, so there is more weight to it. Until I hear them saying it I won’t make conclusions. Also they say “expect” which means it could still happen, more OW2 than D4, D4 is way too early.

This is very true, specially since the beta for OW was very long.

Well, that just means I can join the internet in loving Lady Dimitrescu for 2021 instead… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Depends, she is probably dps, and welp, that will not help with q times, and certian people being angry. I dont think many people would go play flex with new dps added.

I would enjoy that (but IF it is indeed not even coming out until 2022…we could def use at least ONE more hero in that window…perhaps Sojourn?)

I expected late 2021. 2022 is just crushingly disappointing. That said, I’d much rather them take the time they need to make as good of a product as they can rather than rushing out a half baked turd like we’ve been seeing other companies do.

Really hoping they have something special for the Series X/S and PS5 launches.

Huh - well, if something else happens to cause the stocks to dive, then maybe this will be a good year to buy in before Act/Blizz’s inevitable rise

Yeah - this would be smart, especially if they added something else to the mix. Not sure if OW2 will need a re-install like Destiny’s latest season or if they could just plop it where the PTR usually goes.

Feels bad man.
I hope they give us some content like a new hero and Paris/Horizon or a new map until OW2
