Overwatch is properly back in the limelight thanks to its biggest update ever, one that notably sacrificed the Overwatch 2 name to revive Overwatch and kicked off a multi-season narrative arc. With what I imagine is a huge sigh of relief, Blizzard Entertainment is now celebrating the game's resurgence after Marvel Rivals ate its lunch for over a year. (Literally, Winston's not had peanut butter in months.)
This week, Overwatch received a landmark five new heroes at the same time, with five more still to come sometime later in the year. All the hype led to Overwatch more than doubling its previous Steam peak, courting over 160,000 players at the same time.
