Overwatch 2 - still no news?

It would be interesting e.g. to know how much missions in PvE we will get, if it will be solo playable (e.g. with bots) or not etc.

Today is gonna be stacked dud just u wait. There’s an unlisted animated short in the ow YouTube, blizz is releasing content today, and there was a pre-downloaded patch on ptr. I don’t know what it is but I’m hella excited.

Was this said somewhere?

Knowing that there would be zero information as to a release date until it is closer, what other information is there to share? We know how the campaign plays, and they are not going spoil the story so what is there to share?

Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed reply - it did contain details I wasn’t aware of.

Given the nature of this thread I don’t think I’m the only one expecting more.

Again, I point you to the WOW Shadowlands expansion previews, where Blizzard is doing all the things you keep insisting we can’t reasonably expect from the Overwatch team.

This is what the download is for.

Look on the ow2 reddit

Well I mean cmon dud blizz doesn’t give out all their info silly billy. Remember when they told us they were pre downloading role q. Yep exactly

I agree that the hype is way higher on WoW Shadowlands because of that but I think the problem is that all these reveal will come, just later.

You are comparing OW with WoW: why not but the situation is very different. WoW was announced with a pre-order, an approximate launch date and most of the things were done: it needed to upgrade some ideas and to finalize many visuals but the game was near the end of its development. Hence the Alpha and the many information about it.

For Overwatch 2 ? Even the devs didn’t know the approximate release date, or the price, or whether talents would be available in story missions. They also showed us a talent tree and added it was only one of the three things they have and showed us the visual of 4 maps even though they said every mode, including push, would receive several maps.

What can we conclude of all of this ? The game is a lot further to its release or at least it’s advancing well but they cannot tell when all will be good together (partly because with WoW they know how much time they spend working on an expansion while here they are working on a new game).

I really don’t think they chose not to tell a lot compared to WoW, I think they just cannot tell many things (or at least could, i’m expecting some news quite soon) because they have no fixed ideas and the reveals will start closer to the release, building the hype few mounths before the release and not risking to start teasing some things a year and half too early.

Next update will probably be the Shimada bros buffs, echo nerf, and the OWL Zarya skin

This game will die if we get no new info on Ow2 till 2021

Hmm looks like some people think that there’s going to be news to Overwatch 2 at IGN Expo #4.

I don’t know what I am supposed to think of that.

On one hand Blizzard does not need IGN or something to showcase their games.

On the other hand Blizzcon got cancelled, and maybe IGN and Blizzard made a “Deal”. Like “Give us 10/10 and we showcase Overwatch 2 on IGN” or something. But I don’t think Blizzard whould do that.

I don’t think it’s that dubious. I think they just want ow2 to be related to ps4 and Xbox “whatever the new one is”

Well… Looks Like nothing. We were wrong.

Well have fun with a few more dry months until the summer games come along with a few skins and a recycled game mode.

Then wait a few dry months until the halloween event comes.

And again
And again

Let’s just hope the content drought will be worth it in the end. The longer we wait, the more time blizzard have to make overwatch 2 better

Yeah. Blizz is supposed to be at this event but it’s probably later this month
