There's no sugarcoating it: Overwatch 2 is in a precarious spot right now. Marvel Rivals has exploded onto the scene and has clearly taken some of Blizzard’s lunch. What was once a mostly uncontested genre, has shifted wildly since the launch of Netease’s hero shooter, which also happens to be propped up by one of the biggest pop culture brands in the world. For the first time since 2016, Overwatch has a real fight on its hands.
But even before Marvel Rivals proved it was here to stay, Overwatch has been struggling. While the game has seen constant updates – making it as consistent as it’s ever been – it’s also been the focus of a lot of ire by those who feel let down by the 2 in Overwatch 2, which didn't deliver on promised PvE elements.
