Developer Blizzard Entertainment has taken to the official site to share a director’s take on the latest released Overwatch 2 season: Invasion. The new version made additions to the core PvP game, introduced a new Battle Pass and a Null Sector theme among other things. The game also received the first chapter of Story Missions, the trimmed down PvE experience, new game mode Flashpoint and a new support character Illari.
Additionally, Blizzard brought Overwatch 2 to Steam where the game quickly gained a great number of negative reviews. The director notes that getting review-bombed was not a fun experience. On the other hand, bringing OW2 to Steam also allowed the game to reach new players.
“Many of the reviews on Steam mention the cancellation of the much larger component of PvE that was announced in 2019 as one of their primary reasons for dissatisfaction with the game. I get that. That announcement was about an ambitious project that we ultimately couldn’t deliver.
If we can’t turn back the clock, then what can we do? We can keep adding to and improving Overwatch 2. That is how we move forward. This means more maps, heroes, game modes, missions, stories, events, cool cosmetics, and features – an ever-expanding, evolving, and improving game. This is the future of Overwatch. One where we will continually create and innovate on what is making the game great now for the players who are playing now.”
