Make no mistake about it, Blizzard is in triage mode on Overwatch 2. The seasonal announcements come-and-go with smooth regularity but beneath the surface this is a game paddling madly away from its original concept, much of which has now been cancelled, towards an uncertain future of mini events and trying to reinvent itself on-the-fly.
Season 6 will be the first big test of the new model and is even grand enough to bring its own subtitle. Overwatch 2: Invasion brings story missions, a new hero, a new mode, and so on, but specific content aside what will matter is whether Blizzard can make this feel like an event or Just Another Season.
