Many players have been quick to dance on the supposed grave of Overwatch 2, especially after Marvel Rivals' quick ascent to the top of several most-played and most-streamed games charts. And now, popular streamer Ninja (Richard Tyler Blevins) also had some choice words for former hero shooter lynchpin Overwatch 2, while bigging up Marvel Rivals' long-term prospects.
In a recent livestream, reposted elsewhere on the internet, Ninja, who has 19 million subscribers on Twitch, delved into why he thinks "Overwatch is dead and gone" after Marvel Rivals' mega-popular launch. "Just in general, the Overwatch 2 launch was just abysmal - it was an update," he said, before also mentioning the canceled PvE mode that was used to justify the '2' at the end of the title.
