Blizzard has revealed that Overwatch 2's canceled PvE Hero mode was originally designed to be a stepping stone toward a revival of sorts of Project Titan, the MMO canceled years ago from which Overwatch spawned.
Game director Aaron Keller writes in a new blog that Overwatch was "born from the ashes of Project Titan" and that the developers had planned to return to the scope of the MMO after it was shelved. More specifically, Keller says there was a three-part plan in place to eventually get to the point of releasing an MMO, starting with releasing Overwatch.
