Right from the devs, top post in the workshop discussion;

Regarding Workshop and Overwatch 2

Hiya folks, When Overwatch 2 launches on October 4th, Workshop development tools will be temporarily unavailable as the team is still putting some finishing touches on this feature. Our goal is to have the scripting interface Workshop tool back up and running in a future game update, date to be announced. Your current valid Workshop and custom game codes from Overwatch will still work, so please be sure to save any custom game modes/codes that you’d like to bring with you to Overwatch 2 Thanks…
