Many fans wish for a campaign in Overwatch . Blizzard has now responded to a fan inquiry.
Overwatch is very popular, but there is one criticism from many players: they long for a campaign. Especially after the event “Uprising”, where players could complete a short PvE mission, the hunger for more was awakened.
The story of Overwatch has become very extensive, and there are pages of entries about most characters in various wikis that cover all story details. Many of these are told in cinematics, comics, or the small dialogues within the game. It is all the more frustrating for many fans that Overwatch as a game itself does not place much value on telling the story.
On Twitter, user Loy Turns asked if Blizzard has any plans to ever release a single-player campaign for Overwatch. The relatively disappointing answer came quickly: there are currently no plans for that.
Many fans had hoped after the success of “Uprising” that Blizzard was already working on a campaign behind the scenes, but these dreams seem to be shattered for the time being.
There is a small loophole in the statement, though. Since the questioner explicitly asked about a “single-player campaign”, many fans are feeling new hope. Because a denial of the single-player campaign does not mean that a multiplayer campaign in the style of “Uprising” is also ruled out. So many fans hope that this was just a clever choice of words to “hide” that a 4-player campaign is already in development. However, this divides the community, and one half of the players hopes that the other half does not cling to their dream wishes.
