Fans hoping for an early Overwatch 2 release may not have long to wait, as Blizzard has set a Fall 2022 release date.
While Blizzard has only revealed snippets of the long-awaited sequel to its 2016 shooter so far, we know for sure that the game will be drastically different from the original.
First, Overwatch 2 will switch from 6 to 6 to 5 to 5 with the removal of one of the tank roles. In addition, the game will have a full-fledged PVE campaign mode, as well as solo hero missions.
Blizzard shut down again after announcing a 5 to 5 change in May and hasn't delivered any major updates since, leading some to suspect there will be some major delays.
Overwatch 2 will be released in October 2022
As an Activision Blizzard insider previously reported, releasing the game as soon as possible is a top priority for the company.
“We are more than aware that we need to do this,” the source said. “So, they say, the development team was told to fix the features that are in the game, fix them and ship.
We hope to release the title before the summer of 2022».
Another source in franchise management stated that the goal is to release the game by the second quarter of 2022, that is, from April 1 to June 30.
Ultimately, after the transfers of the game, the release is scheduled for October 4, 2022!
The launch of the game will also impact the Overwatch League. "The timing of the release will depend on the league's schedule because obviously they don't want to change the version of the game in the middle of the season."
Whether the game will be stable at launch remains to be seen, but it's clear that resurrecting IP is paramount to Blizzard. Hopefully the game will be released in a stable state so that fans can return to the world of Overwatch again.
