Asmongold calls out Blizzard for possibly cancelling Overwatch 2 PvE: ‘Is this a joke?’

Recently, rumors have cropped up regarding Blizzard possibly cancelling Overwatch 2‘s sole reason for existing—the PvE mode, prompting popular creator Asmongold to call the company out. “Are you kidding me? Is this a joke?” the streamer said while covering the first reports of PvE being in trouble.

The rumor gained traction following a March 18 article by Kotaku, which claimed the PvE development staff was hit especially hard with Microsoft’s layoff spree following its acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. Additionally, the studio was plagued with unattainable goals of “Blizzard quality,” as well as company higher-ups reportedly saying the project would need at least 400 people to go through development properly. Asmongold took on all of these arguments in a March 20 video and stream where he called Blizzard out for not delivering on years of promises and saying smaller studios did more with fewer people.
