Overwatch launch time may have been confirmed from PlayStation. Blizzard Entertainment announced Overwatch 2 at BlizzCon 2019, saying the game will be available on PC and consoles, but didn’t say when.
According to a tweet from PlayStation Brazil’s official Twitter account, “2020 will be the year Overwatch 2 is available on PS4”. The tweet has a link to the Blizzard Entertainment interview in Portuguese. Some fans believe they can play the game during Christmas 2020.
However, according to the fan translation in that interview, the developer did not confirm the Overwatch 2 release time while talking to PlayStation and this tweet has also been deleted. This means that the 2020 launch time could be an accident. Like many Overwatch fans, the person responsible for this Brazilian PlayStation account is also just predicting Overwatch 2 will be released in 2020.
The game may not be officially confirmed in time for Blizzard, but that shouldn’t stop fans from continuing to predict the Overwatch 2 release date. A popular prediction on Reddit says Overwatch will launch shortly after. BlizzCon, taking place in November. Blizzard has also teased several Overwatch 2 characters, and releasing the game shortly after BlizzCon will allow the studio to leverage that event to share these characters.
Some fans believe that the launch time is Christmas 2020 because Blizzard may want Overwatch 2 to be the first games on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Making Overwatch the first games on PS5 and Xbox Series X is a “good” way best” to help popularize the game. Blizzard has been criticized by some fans because Overwatch 2 looks like an expensive DLC, so being the frontrunner for these consoles could change fans’ minds and buy the game. This also helps new fans experience the game.
As for official, Blizzard has not said anything yet. Overwatch game director once said that the game’s release time is still far away. Whether Overwatch 2 will be released in time for 2020, we will have to wait and see.
