Overwatch 2 will likely be a solid game and maybe even better than the original but apparently, it needs more time than people were hoping for. Even CSGO has been updated more in the past couple of years. The hope is that Overwatch 2 is able to breathe new life into a game that has been very stale compared to its counterparts like VALORANT and League of Legends. The current climate, production on multiple games, and trying to make Overwatch 2 perfect will likely have caused the delay. According to Blizzard, the game will not be released in 2021. A holiday release specifially would not be a major surprise. Thanks to the Blizzard Q4 2020 earnings call, we’ve learned a bit about what we can and can’t expect from Overwatch 2. That being said, it is more realistic that Overwatch 2 hits stores later in 2021. There is still the possibility that it releases in the summer or at least a beta comes out soon.

The thinking now is that the game is either a Q4, holiday or early 2022 release date. Other sources like Metro and even an Amazon posting for a new Overwatch Artbook that is coming out in October and offers a “sneak peek” into Overwatch 2 make it seem unlikely to be coming out soon. While this may not mean anything for the game, it is hard to believe that the flagship league for Overwatch would not be played on Overwatch 2 if it was out. According to the third-quarter earnings call from Blizzard last year, the sequel to the famous shooter is set to. Recently, The Game Haus was made aware that the OWL likely will not be played on Overwatch 2 at all in 2021. Unfortunately, it does not look like Overwatch 2 will release within the year. Many are hoping for at least a beta but unfortunately, this does not seem likely. The thing is with Blizzcon getting moved to February there is a chance the game could be released then or soon after. This was where Overwatch 2 was revealed to be in development and has not had much said about it since. To guarantee access to the Overwatch 2 beta at any time - even after it has started - you can purchase the Overwatch Watchpoint pack for 34.99/39.99 on the platform you plan to play Overwatch 2 on. It is almost exclusively where their new games have been revealed. Here is a look at when the release date for Overwatch 2 could be.īlizzcon is normally a time where Blizzard love to make huge reveals. That saga continues to worsen as recent rumors and leaks have brought some concerning things to light about the game’s tentative release date. With a game that is losing players to games that are updated more regularly and a professional League that needs content to stay relevant, a lot of people are hoping that Overwatch 2 will be coming soon. Overwatch 2 was officially unveiled during Blizzcon 2019 and has sense provided fans with little to be excited about, as players of the original game have received little to no new content since. The reason for this is that Overwatch has not had many if any updates in nearly a year since the announcement with Blizzards stating the reasoning was to focus on Overwatch 2.

There may not be a more anticipated game than Blizzard’s Overwatch 2.
