Isaiah: I’ll be honest, when I wrote up the article about Blizz saying that PvE would be “coming later” I knew deep in my bones we weren’t gonna ever get it. Isaiah: So on a scale from Rein charging into a D.Va ult to a Hanzo main who actually gets their shots, how shocked were you from yesterday’s news that PvE has been nerfed?Īlyssa: I mean, Blizzard said when Overwatch 2 launched that PvE was coming in 2023 right? So nearly halfway through, it tells us “jk”? Honestly, if it weren’t for the audacity I wouldn’t be shocked at all considering Blizzard’s been bait-and-switching us since 2019.

Why’d they have to take everything from me, a lowly healer main?Īlyssa: Healer main also, gotta love when the solo tank goes off-tank and I just get harassed by Tracer and Sombra for an entire match. The only thing I’m still mourning is 6v6 matches.
So the veil was quite transparent in my household from day one. Isaiah: I mean, when I installed OW2 on my Xbox One, the Xbone literally never changed the original OW logo while downloading, like it was just an update. How am I not supposed to feel like the pivot from original game add-on to standalone Overwatch 2 was anything more than a way to get people to pay for what used to be free skins? I’ll see you all in therapy.Īlyssa: I’m just gagged that Blizz was ostensibly working on this since it stopped giving us any sort of OG Overwatch content in 2019 and then they just canned it anyway. RIP substantial in-game PvE story content. Isaiah Colbert (D.Va Main): Turns out the real Overwatch 2 was the season passes and loot boxes we opened along the way. There aren’t a lot of games that I’ve put this much time into and while I think the kneejerk reaction is to be angry, I’m just fucking bummed. The TikTok algorithm shows me Overwatch 2 videos more than probably anything else, and all I could do was scroll past them. Usually after work, I boot it up for at least a few matches, but today I couldn’t even be bothered. Now, I am perhaps the most dejected I’ve felt about the game since I started playing it. Kenneth Shepard (Soldier: 76 Main): It has been 1,291 days since BlizzCon 2019, and that was how long I was an Overwatch 2 believer. Deep in mourning, Kotaku’s resident OW2 players decided to gather together and hold a wake for all the OW2 PvE story mode content Blizzard unceremoniously gutted.Īlyssa Mercante (Moira Main): Woof, Overwatch 2 is not what they promised four years ago. It also announced that its PvE story mode, y’know, the whole reason it said it was making Overwatch 2 in the first place, is getting nerfed into the ground. Yesterday, Blizzard held a livestream in which it announced that, yes, a new tank hero, map, and cinematic are coming to Overwatch 2.
