Overwatch 2’s PVE has been completely and utterly cancelled.
Blizzard killed the golden goose for good. The PvE initially promised as a sprawling experience got downgraded into small season excerpts, and now? Nothing.
One of the most promising, innovative and polished games of all time has been systematically butchered by executive incompetence. Overwatch 2’s whole existence was principled on this PvE. Now what is it built on?
A shop overhaul. No more free cosmetics every level. Pay for cosmetics. Pay for the Battle Pass. Spend. Spend. Spend.
Bleak stuff. I’ll always treasure the great memories I have of early Overwatch (heroes never die, after all), but I honestly doubt I’ll ever touch it again.

OW2 was a work-in-progress game even by live service game standards for its entire run. For months Blizzard said "yeah we know we kinda fumbled the PvP buuuuttt the PvE is on its way and that's the big selling point!".
They just cancelled the bulk of the PvE. The game's purpose isn't a PvE mode any more, but a monetisation shift. Battle Passes and absurdly priced shop cosmetics instead of free loot boxes that mean players can get all cosmetics without emptying their wallets. So absurdly scummy.
I'm tapping out on OW for now, what a fucking joke. It's gotta be the biggest fumble in gaming history. The golden goose of OW1 died due to negligence, and then when given a second chance Blizzard categorically fumbled every single thing so badly. Unreal.
