Overwatch 2 May Still Be Far From Release | Game Rant

Overwatch 2 is one of the more highly anticipated multiplayer games in recent memory. The original is, of course, a hugely successful title, and many fans cannot wait for the launch of Overwatch 2. While Blizzard has remained quiet, it’s looking more likely that the game is still far from release.

There is a lot to expect from Overwatch 2 in 2021 including new announcements, details on the game, and the possible release itself but with its continued success, Blizzard Entertainment does not need to rush the game. Based on recent information, including new job postings, it could be that Overwatch 2 is developing a little slower than previously expected.

Some recent rumors have pointed to Overwatch 2 being delayed. Many fans expected a big reveal next month at Blizzcon and while that could still happen, rumors seem to indicate that it could miss the show entirely. Right now there are 43 job openings for Overwatch related positions at Blizzard. While not all of them point directly to hugely important roles for the development of the game, some seem critical to Overwatch 2, like “Senior Game Producer, Missions.” Another job opening, Lead Mission Designer, is asking to “help build a strong team environment.” This job description lingo seems to point more towards the beginning of a project than the middle or end of it.

Of course, the best multiplayer games are usually of an ongoing nature, which is the case for Overwatch 2. Blizzard will need team members to continue to build maps, create skins, make new characters, and more as it grows the game post-launch. It is also possible that leadership positions become available during the development of a game as team members leave for other opportunities. However, where there is smoke there is often fire. There have been quite a few rumors regarding Overwatch 2‘s slow development, so this is just another example of this.

Late last year it was believed that the release window for Overwatch 2 was possibly teased by the Overwatch League vice president. The season structure has been changed for Overwatch this year, as it will begin in the spring of 2021, instead of starting right around now (which is usually the case). The idea was that Overwatch 2 could come out alongside the beginning of the new season of the Overwatch League, meaning spring 2021.

However, if these rumors are true about the slow development of the game, that may not be the case. So if the new 2021 season starts for the Overwatch League in spring and the original Overwatch is what is being played as a part of that competition, that almost guarantees that Overwatch 2 would release after that Overwatch League season is complete; putting the game at least in the Q4 2021 window or after.

Overwatch 2 is currently in development.
