Overwatch 2 hasn't exactly gone according to plan so far, but I still find myself optimistic about the shooter's future.
Contents In the lead-up to its October 2022 launch, the excitement for the hero shooter sequel was sky-high, largely thanks to a planned Hero mode. As its release date approached, several choices during development would erode that hype. That would include the departure of Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan, a controversial swap to five-player teams, and plans for a revamped battle pass and microtransaction system.
Any form of microtransaction is sure to stir controversy, but I’ll be honest: battle passes are a better option than loot boxes. If you regularly played the original Overwatch, loot boxes often spat out duplicate rewards that were converted to “credits.” Those would be used to purchase something you were eyeing for one of your go-to heroes,or you would wait and save up for an event-exclusive skin that was heavily sought-after.
The PvE factor I can’t talk about Overwatch 2 without mentioning the elephant in the room: Hero mode’s unceremonious cancellation. Despite originally planning to launch a full PvE mode complete with skill trees, Blizzard quietly scrapped the idea in favor of smaller story events. The mode was one of Blizzard’s main justifications as to why it was creating Overwatch 2 in the first place, so its cancellation has earned the sequel a bad reputation that’s been hard to scrub off.
