Overwatch 2 announced for PS4, XB1, Switch, and PC! (see staff post for discussion guidelines)
- Thread starter AlexFlame116

I don't blame people for being confused. there's nothing about this that makes sense for it being called a sequel.
Story missions will only be playable with certain heroes and will of course tell the story they want to tell with the game.
Hero missions will be separate unrelated missions that can be played by any combination of heroes.
Anything more than $30 with what's been discussed would be highway robbery.
Yea, they just made up a character that has been in the story since before they game launch just to counter the Hong Kong controversy, yes thats what happen, they could tell the future and planned this 4 years ago.
Switch? Wow! I was afraid Blizzard was disappointed with OW1 Switch sales after the Free HK boycott. This is great news.
So is the visual upgrade exclusive to OW2 then? That's really all I'm interested in from what I've read so far.
We haven't had confirmation of that I don't think. They have a panel about the upgrades tomorrow might get a confirmation there.
Its great that Blizzard is allowing you to keep everything you've earned or bought in Overwatch 1 to carry over to Overwatch 2 AND having OW1 people be able to play with OW2 people.
And people dont like this?
Like ....why?
Big publishers need to pay attention here and take note: if you do something that is consumer-friendly everyone will be confused and angry. So, big publishers, be more consumer-unfriendly because apparently thats what people want.

But if both games are going to function the same in PVP, it makes more sense to move OW1 to the new codebase. Otherwise they are stuck trying to keep two separate bits of code in sync, which sounds like a nightmare.
I also feel perplexed. What do people want? If you don't want PVE, you can keep on playing PVP in Overwatch without missing anything.
the mad lads actually did it, this is the best possible way to do a sequel
keep all the maps and heroes of the first game and just add more multiplayer stuff while also adding a whole pve side
Do we know if ability customization is a thing for pvp or not though

yeah that's the thing
they could add 20 brand new missions but i still wouldn't want to play them more than a few times, just happy they're doing a big pvp update and advancing the lore
I imagine it'll probably be $40 on PC again, who knows for consoles

Do people honestly believe that, in the span of literal weeks, because of the HK controversy, they made Sojourn a hero, designed her moves, made everything playable, and then have cinematics and art ready as a way to counter the HK problem?
I'm not ever going to say that Blizzard was right and that they handled everything perfectly. They dropped the ball hard. But come on.

also so if you're a pvp person only, is the only point to buying this the inevitable exclusive cosmetics?
Overwatch has been one of the top selling games on the Eshop since it launched. At one point it was the #1 paid game. It just doesn't show on the best sellers tab because it's a bundle pack with NSO
And this. Companies don't decide these things overnight.
It has been consistently a best seller since release, it just doesn't get lumped with other Switch releases because it is "technically a bundle" and thus doesn't get displayed properly on Nintendo's terribly laid out and un-intuitive eShop (I love Nintendo to pieces, but my god do they need a better shop for such a successful system).
Some people are just going to criticize everything Blizzard does no matter what because of the Hong Kong thing I guess.
is this the first game ever were people from the first game can play with people of the second game??
it could be confusing because i think is the first time that this happens no?
nothing official, 2020 was the rumor but it sounds way down the line. Earliest would probably fall next year
Gonna bet 40 dollars for base and 60 for deluxe just like ow1
Those open-sided streetcars don't look like they'd be very comfortable between October and April.
