Overwatch fan theorizes shocking number of heroes went unreleased due to canceled PvE plans
Fans of Overwatch have continued to express their frustration with Blizzard after the developer announced that it canceled its original PvE content plans for Overwatch 2, and one particular gamer on June 3 did some math regarding possible hero releases in light of the PvE shift that’s a little bit maddening.
Around the time of Overwatch 2’s announcement at BlizzCon 2019, Blizzard took many development resources from the live game and began investing them in the new PvE project for OW2, which we now know has been largely scrapped or edited. This left many gamers playing what felt like a dead game for the last couple years of the first Overwatch.
