Resetting a huge live-service game like Overwatch 2 is a risky move, but one that's paid off for Blizzard already. Retitling the FPS to Overwatch, adding several new heroes, and providing a narrative reset have reinvigorated the shooter's community, providing the exact kind of second wind the devs were hoping for.
Alec Dawson, associate game director on Overwatch, tells PCGamesN about the team's current blend of nervousness and excitement. "You dream of these types of things. It's the beginning of a comeback," he stated.
