It's unclear whether Blizzard will take the same route with Overwatch 2, but either way, the timescale is clearly not the same. Following an announcement of the game at BlizzCon 2014, Overwatch entered open beta in 2015 and went live to the world in 2016. Ultimately, things are moving a lot different from how they did during Overwatch's release. The fact that blizzard revealed overwatch 2 in 2019 and the response was largely "wait why does there need to be an overwatch 2" and "lmao this cinematic means the main story is only just now progressing past recall" and now it's not coming out until at least 2022 is very funny- Bobby Schroeder February 4, 2021 What's going on with Overwatch 2 in 2021? It's a balancing act to make sure a game is ready to go, while also riding the hype of its release. Remember the debacle of Warcraft III: Reforged's release, leading to complaints the game was little more than an unfinished mess that was rushed for release. Even though 2020 was clearly profitable for Activision Blizzard - thanks mainly to the Call of Duty name - the Blizzard properties undoubtedly struggled.
#Overwatch 2 release date 2021 update
Still, the latest update is a major blow for Overwatch fans who wanted to see where the franchise could've gone next in 2021. Perhaps the only silver lining is the fact mobile gamers will be able to make the most of Diablo Immortal later this year. What's interesting to note is the fact there's still no concrete (or even loose) release date for Overwatch 2. In a new release, Blizzard reiterated it has made "significant progress" in developing "other key intellectual properties", which the company hopes will "fuel further growth in 2022 and beyond". About two months ago, one of my work colleagues was dead set on the belief that Overwatch 2 would launch in time to be used for this season of the Overwatch League, and I'm never going to let him forget that.- Overwatch League Statistical Insights February 5, 2021ĭiscussing the state of Overwatch 2 during an investors' call, Activision Chief Financial Officer Dennis Durkin said, "We expect Blizzard's net booking to grow, given the momentum in World of Warcraft and the other growth initiatives we have in the business. Our outlook does not include Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2 launching in 2021".
