The release date of Overwatch 2 might be sooner than we all thought. Is Blizzard’s shooter set to release this year?
Just a few months ago, Overwatch 2 was announced as the successor to Blizzard’s popular hero shooter. A release date seemed far off then – or was it? A supposed leak may have revealed a planned release date for Overwatch 2. Accordingly, we might not have to wait that long.
Where did the leak come from and what was said? The leak comes from an article from the Brazilian PlayStation site. Here, an interview with developers Michael Chu and Aaron Keller from the Overwatch team was published. The article claimed that “2020 will be the year Overwatch 2 arrives on PS4.” So, it’s basically a credible source.
The date would also correspond with the speculations regarding the Overwatch League.
The article has been modified retroactively: However, it should be noted that the article has since been edited and no longer mentions a release in 2020 – that passage has been removed. Whether this was simply a mistake or the author let slip a piece of information that was supposed to be secret can’t be determined in hindsight. Therefore, this information should be taken with a lot of caution.
The excitement among fans has evidently significantly increased due to this news.
Overwatch 2 will not be an easy successor: Overwatch 2 is special in that it is more than just a simple successor. Instead, Overwatch 2 will gradually merge with its predecessor. Players will play in the same matches and also have the same cosmetics unlocked. Only the PvE missions and the likely significantly polished graphics are distinctive features of Overwatch 2. Jeff Kaplan has explained this in more detail.
Are you already excited about the PvE missions, the new maps, and heroes? Or should Blizzard have simply brought this for Overwatch 1?
