Blizzard has completely gutted its planned PvE content for Overwatch 2, and will instead "double down" on PvP. That's according to a Bloomberg newsletter and information that PC Gamer also corroborated separately.
It's a disappointing conclusion to an 18-month wait, albeit one that's not all too surprising given last year's cancellation of the game's hero mode. Despite Overwatch 2 originally being pitched as an experience heavy on the PvE side of things when it was revealed in 2019, plans slowly started to deteriorate. In March 2022 it was announced that the PvE portion wouldn't be released with the rest of the game. While a trio of co-op missions were released in June last year, a $15 price tag and lack of replayability didn't do much in the way of enticing players.
