Overwatch 2 is still in development but is still a thing to be excited about. Overwatch 2 Release date is not officially announced yet but will be expecting it from the officials soon. Overwatch 1 is all about the PVP with only some game mode.
These game modes have their own unique strategy to win but the game isn’t at its peak as it was before. Overwatch 2 might also be collaborating with Overwatch as one game after development for a better experience for players. It might seem confusing but to summarise it; Overwatch will still be in PVP mode while Overwatch 2 is all about PvE story missions.

Players that enjoy Overwatch don’t need to worry about not getting updates anymore. There are rumours the game will be still updated after the development of Overwatch 2. Rumours are from research as Blizzard is looking for more developers on Overwatch development. There are also rumours of adding content like new agents and multiplayer modes on Overwatch 1 but it should be after released on Overwatch 2. Let’s move into the story and the details of Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 Story
Overwatch has been a fun game since the game’s release in 2016. The game is overwhelmed by players resulting in sponsorship hosting many competitions after the game release. The game was great and addicting but over years there are games released that are better than Overwatch that bring the game to downfall. Blizzard must have noticed that it is hard to bring the game back to life since there are lots of fps games that exist in their current state.
Fortunately, Blizzard notices that the game might have potential on another series since Overwatch’s fans are interested in the character’s history. This is when Blizzard decides to create another series of Overwatch called Overwatch 2 that specifies a PVE battle to make the game alive.
Overwatch 2 Release Date
Overwatch 2 Release Date is not confirmed till now. Overwatch 2 was introduced on Blizzcon 2019 during late November. Blizzard said that the game is only in early development and they aren’t sure when it will be released. “I don’t know; I have no idea,” game director Jeff Kaplan said itself.
They are not interested in releasing the game anytime soon as they wanted the game to be fun and playable. This will mean that the game won’t be finished in 2020. But as per the exerts Overwatch 2 Release Date will be announced by the end of 2020 or in the starting of 2021.

There are also rumours of the game will be releasing in 2020 as there are tweets from PlayStation’s official Brazil account that tweeted the game will be coming to PS4 in 2020. There are reports from Dexerto that players have to wait for more until Blizzcon 2021.
Overwatch 2: PlayStation 5 Exclusive Game?
Overwatch 2 on PS5 is still a rumour still today. There are lots of posts regarding it in PS5 with Diablo 4 but during Blizzcon 2019 they never announced once about it. They are sourced from Pushsquare where they leak it will be in PS5. I think it is best to not believe in any of the news as the best it to wait for new trailer or gameplay demo during previews on future conventions
