This thought process is so entitled. Im happy that we are getting OW2, new heroes or no new heroes. The developers work pretty hard to pump out new characters that are also fun to play as and against.

All these people who spent the last year or two with daily threads hyping themselves up for OW2, they are never, NEVER, going to be satisfied. You are ruining the experience for yourself by harking on it.
Just let it go, OW2 will come out, or it wont, whatever, and it will be what it will be.
I will say I don’t want to get my hopes up. Having 3 new heroes after a 3 year hiatus is honestly pathetic, and truthfully would probably make the game DOA.
That being said, I hope they have at least a few more for launch. It would be great if you could play a game of OW in October with only new heroes. The game needs to be broken to stand a chance.
My bigger worry is the hyper focus on OWL, and not wanting to overwhelm them with new stuff. OWL needs to take a back seat so that the masses can have fun with the game like they did in 2016.

Both of them are coming with a vengence
And from the tease, it looks like Fox Girl is going to be a Support that provides some form of boost from her fox trail with tori gates. The tease does show that team composition so we can safely assume she is a Support.
Whatever that is, Idk.
Didn’t OW1 still have new hero reveals like 1-2 months before release?
I get being pessimistic, but I myself am not this pessismistic.
Reading is hard, huh?
You struggle to pay attention or notice context clues too, apparently.
Early Access is available October 4th.
This is the Release Date for Public Early Access.
Overwatch 2’s full launch is NOT October 4th 2022.
They literally teased PvE campaigns, like when everyone’s standing on a mountain top together with wacky white outfits? What else do you think that is???
In addition to this, of course they wouldn’t show off the PvE. PvE likely won’t be a part of this, because PvE is the part of Overwatch 2 that owners of Overwatch 1 will have to actually buy. Otherwise, we get upgraded to Overwatch 2 for free. All of us.
PvE is going to be released at launch. Being as this isn’t launch, there’s no reason to give us PvE, though we still might.
We only saw 3 new heroes, for the EARLY ACCESS event. This isn’t all they have. They’ve outright said in the past that they had between 5-8 heroes they were working on iirc.
I had higher hopes that hell would freeze over than expect anything but garbage from blizzard and OW2. So thankfully with that mindset I’ve had for a while now (and turned out to be true shocker I know) I don’t really feel angry or dissapointed or anything.
“3 new heroes” - that’s where you’re wrong. We got Orisa and Doom “into tanks” reworks, Sombra and Bastion reworks, potentially Sigma and Sym reworks as well, that’s a whole SIX new heroes on top of these three!.
But on a serious note, the game goes “early access” in October. Technically, it’s not even a release, it gives them an excuse to delay the actual release while working on the game. When they’ll meet their “10 new heroes” quota, that’s when the game goes “live”. Provided they don’t paywall new heroes…
OW2 pve isn’t ready but they are giving us the pvp early. You’re entitled if you see it otherwise.
They literally stopped development after Echo. There is absolutely no excuse to have only the PvP ready, in fact, it isn’t even ready, it’s just first of the many beta phases they’re implementing - which is pretty weird in software development.
Beta 1 literally has placeholder icons, buggy UI and poor UX, a beta of this quality will not fly at all in any type of tech company, a beta is supposed to be a demo of the final product so that the customer gets a preview of what they’re going to get. The beta phases are more akin to alpha builds because they’re testing new key features with every iteration of the build.
So it just baffles me that people are defending the beta phases when they’re literally just using us as free QA testers and marketing the beta as “content”. Blizzard is literally a Triple A company and all they have to show for in OW2 is essentially a reskinned OW1 AFTER 3 years of no content.
I will however attribute this blunder to Jeff Kaplan leaving the company, I’m pretty sure his resignation caused a massive reorganization on top of Blizzard having to deal with harassment cases.
You literally just combined two different people into one. Learn to read.
Also Splatoon. Mega sucess. Paid game.
Werent you saying you doubt they have any new heroes beyond what we saw last beta a week ago? It is amazing how people, in an effort to avoid admitting they are wrong, will keep moving the goalposts over and over and over?

By that same token we have also lost the old versions. Kind of events out, no?

You mean a game where they keep launching sequels that are basically the same game copy and pasted just to get their playerbase back. If you want to pay 60 dollars every 2 years to get to play OW I guess that is your right but generally people prefer to not do that.
This would be the biggest catastrophe though. I don’t often defend Blizzard because they kind of suck these days, but there are multiple ways to get the scope of the game up. One would be the make exactly what they made in Overwatch 1, but all new stuff which would be an equal number of new heroes and maps. Or they could create the PVE campaign system.
I still think it would be better served as a cheaper expansion pack rather than calling it OW2, but the scope of the game could theoretically be the same. It has yet to be seen what the PVE is actually like.
Chances are, OW2 team has 10 financial specialists and 1 underpaid intern, that does actual work.

i said i doubt they have many more unannounced heroes. The final count would be 4-5 new heroes i’d assume unless they pull out a massive group announcement.
Even then the game took 3 years to come out and it’s just a glorified patch, without the pve expansion.

Yes without the PvE sequel (because 30 years of gaming says a full campaign qualifies as a sequel) it would be a patch, but that is a silly position because OW2 isn’t just the PvP. It would be like saying if Elden Ring were just the first 2 hours it would be a really short game… well yes but it is not just that.
man people like you are so annoying op xD they made everything clear but ur acting dumb so you can complain … i really dont like you lol
