At this point it seems that Blizzard can’t decide what it wants to do with Overwatch. It seems kind of baffling how they’ve handled what is basically a live service cash cow.
lmao, eat my ass blizzard
So wait did they or did they not cancel the PvE, because the Xbox showcase made it seem like there was more PvE but it smelled of desperation.
I think Blizz is still doing PvE in a similar vein as OW1’s PvE events but utilizing some of what they worked on, but there won’t be a full-fledged story mode for PvE anymore.
It’s really not clear what exactly they canceled, since they never announced much to begin with. I think they just scrapped the talent trees?
The only reason I would go back and play overwatch 1 every once in a while was for the free pve events. I’d then get sucked into pvp again for a bit, spend some money without thinking, and then leave again. If they start charging for pve events I won’t be tempted back into that loop.
“The blog post does note that you’ll have permanent access to the Overwatch 2: Invasion story missions…”
Yeah, after I bought Overwatch and can’t access it at all I have little trust for dropping more money on anything Overwatch 2.
Biggest rug-pull in gaming history
Every day news of this game comes out I thank God that I stopped playing when OW2 came out.
The idea of charging for PvE missions sounds bad on the surface (especially given the attitude surrounding Overwatch 2 at the moment) but honestly I think this sounds totally fine. I mean it’s basically like a paid expansion, which is a rare thing nowadays in the age of live service games. Personally I like the idea of paying a finite amount of money for a finite amount of content. The only question is whether these three missions are actually fun and replayable enough to be worth $15.
