OW2 PVE Mode Cancelled

Overwatch 2's PvE Hero Mode Is Being Scrapped, Blizzard Explains What Happened and Why

Game director Aaron Keller and executive producer Jared Neuss discuss why the eagerly-anticipated mode will no longer be released and the future of Overwatch 2.

www.gamespot.com

The justification to change OW to OW2 was that "a new engine is needed for the PVE mode", with 90% of the trailer being PVE and several years of paused development in order to create this PVE mode which was delayed on OW2 launch.

It just got cancelled.

Lol

This is simultaneously dumb, hilarious and not at all surprising considering the company.

saw it coming lol

they released a "free" game with in-game items, that were previously free, now restricted behind a paywall

it was never free to begin with

OW2 players deserved it for being OW2 players

Conspiracy theory:

OW2 was created to remove the lootbox system from OW1 and change it to the more acceptable battle pass model

Conspiracy theory:

this is basically the common theory

they said "we will never make you pay for heroes in overwatch"

so they made overwatch 2, in which that promise technically doesn't apply

Ah yes the classic marketing tactic of re-positioning. Which consists in re-branding in the eyes of most of your consumers to a different perspective. From a $40 game to a Free-to-Play game with microtransaction. Even if nothing. fucking. changes.

Marketing Geniuses, another great tactics they have is sending the gays when they fuck up.

Oh, there's new OW drama? Release the Blizzard pride shirt. Like everyone calls them out on that cause they use them for brownie points.

Diablo 4 will probably sell you sand if this keeps up

Blizzard walking out of the studio after haphazardly throwing in the fact that they killed their new PVE system in the middle of a video about their new season ((95% of it is inaccessible if you do not pay 20 dollars for a pass))
