Overwatch 2, a sequel with too (little) content
Last week, within two days, surveillance 2 made a resounding comeback on the news by continuing to speak many details what we weren’t aware of. Thanks to its passage during the Xbox conference, we now know that the Blizzard title is expected for October 4th and that in a few days it will be tackled by a new beta on June 28th. ! That’s all ? No, Blizzard also took the opportunity to reveal one of the new heroes of this sequel, viz the queen of the squires.
However, the Xbox conference was not the only appointment. On June 16, Blizzard gave game developers the floor to explain some very specific points, such as the content of the first three seasons.. Except that not everyone liked the roadmap and some expressed their dissatisfaction with a list of characters that are not really renewed for the occasion. Given the dissatisfaction, Aaron Keller thought it appropriate to give them some explanations!
Election time for Overwatch 2
During a question-and-answer session organized on Reddit via an AMA (Ask Me Anything), the game’s director, Aaron Keller, spoke about one of the black dots ofsurveillance 2 when it launched: its lack of new heroes. Before getting to the heart of the matter, the project manager took the time to show understanding for the players and to share the studio’s desire to do a good job.
Overwatch heroes are incredibly exciting. We put our heart and soul into the production of new ones. Seeing the community’s desire for more makes the team happy, and I think asking why more isn’t coming out makes sense.
In his opinion, the lack of a wide range of new heroes has its origins in the difficulties that Overwatch 2 faced during its development.. At some point, the teams realized that PvP and PvE could not be released on the same date, therefore affecting work on creating new content and new features. The decision was made to finish the game first and then to start expanding the character list. As Blizzard showed with their roadmap, all of this will happen over the seasons, it just takes a little patience.
