“We Can’t Deliver on That Original Vision” – Disappointment Strikes Overwatch 2 Fans as Devs Move to Scrap the 4-Year-Long Wait

Activision Blizzard’s deal with Microsoft is seeing some line of progression and satisfaction. But the same could not be stated for the former’s FPS Overwatch 2. The popular sequel was released with much anticipation, hoping to bring back the glory that Overwatch 1 set. Though we witnessed a massive opening weekend, the activity slowly died off as days passed.

But, players still had high hopes for Overwatch 2. More additions were promised during the 2019 BlizzCon, which fans were eagerly waiting for. But recent official updates have put a nail on that 4-year wait.

Overwatch 2 fans are disappointed with the scrapping of PvE systems

The developers had skyrocketed hopes for Overwatch 2. With new heroes and an upgraded system, the revamped FPS title was expected to outshine its competition. But the title sort of fell short. Though this decline was not given much attention by the community, as Overwatch 2 had more in store for them.

Fast forward to 2022, Overwatch 2 finally got released but only with PvP (Player vs Player) mode. Apparently, they had to shift the PvE and other promised mechanisms to a later date. But now the studio has decided to scrap the entire thing. Aaron Keller, the Game Director, and Jared Neuss, the Executive Producer of Overwatch 2 released a statement that indicated the scrapping of the much-anticipated mode.

“With everything we learned about what it takes to operate this game at the level that you deserve, it’s clear that we can’t deliver on that original vision for PvE that was shown in 2019,” stated Jared Neuss.

This means that Blizzard would not be following the hero talent tree concept as well, which created abundant excitement in the gaming community. Fans are dejected at the moment as 4 years of waiting have gone in vain. But, the studio is stating that there is a lot to come from the title in the future.

Story missions, new cinematics, co-op events, single-player mastery missions, and more are offered by the game in their future road map. But we cannot be sure at the moment whether these themselves would be sufficient to satisfy the broken heart of the fans. A lot of hype that Overwatch 2 received was due to the fact that the title had PvE, and its scrapping might set Blizzard a bit back in terms of player satisfaction.
