Ever since Blizzard announced Overwatch 2 in 2019, it has been an uphill battle of justifying why the live-service title needed a numbered sequel at all. Even with negative reactions to the downsizing of team sizes, as well as some missteps in character balancing, one feature that gave players hope was the promise of an extensive PvE component to the game. However, on May 16, Blizzard announced that the promised feature will never come to Overwatch 2. Despite the understandable disappointment that comes with this announcement, there is a silver lining.
