Overwatch 2 Devs Fear Story Missions Have Been Canceled

The PvE campaign was pitched as the sequel’s big pillar, now ex-devs tell Kotaku its future is unclear

Well, this is hardly unexpected.

Still, considering how PvE was supposed to be the pillar of Overwatch “2”, and the outwards-facing reason for the switchover, it’s sad. There was actually some cool promise in those PvE ideas, and now even the “light” version seems to be cancelled.

    Did they sell it though? Everyone who bought it got the game they paid for (and now sort of don’t have anymore, lol) but wasn’t the promise of PvE an add-on to the now free game?

      they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall
