Blizzard is scrapping Overwatch 2 hero missions and progression: 'It's clear that we can't deliver on the original vision for PvE'

Note: The original headline for this story stated that "co-op" missions are being scrapped. Blizzard has confirmed that the standalone story missions coming instead of the originally planned PvE mode will support co-op. To avoid confusion, we've updated the headline.

When Overwatch 2 was announced in 2019, front and center in Blizzard's promotion were a new campaign mode and co-op hero missions designed to be replayable. Then Overwatch 2 got delayed several times, Blizzard stopped talking about the PvE mode, and eventually decided to only release Overwatch 2's new PvP stuff and worry about PvE later.
