Overwatch 2 – Will it be an Update instead of a brand new sequel?

Right on the doorstep Blizzcon 2019tons of rumors about Overwatch 2 is exploding online. Recently, ESPN – a large and reputable game news site published a long post revealing a lot of information about Overwatch 2 like PvP, PvE and new heroes. In addition, another notable rumor comes from account Metro_0W, who has accurately leaked Overwatch information in the past, also saying: “The original Overwatch game as we know it will be “deleted”. “and completely replaced by Overwatch 2 in one update”. Meaning, instead of releasing a brand new game as many people think, “Overwatch 2” will be more like an Update.
​

To prove their speculation, Metro_0W compared Overwatch 2 and Fortnite Chapter 2. For those who don’t know, Epic Games recently released an important update for Fortnite called Fortnite: Chapter 2. In Chapter 2 In this game, the original map is completely replaced with a new map and many mechanisms and features are also added. According to Metro_0W then Blizzard is also doing the same with Overwatch 2. This way, the company will still maintain the old player community and immediately have a million people ready to play the sequel.

Moreover, the fact that Overwatch 2 features PvP and PvE will sometimes divide the community. If going in the direction of development like Fortnite, Blizzard can both give players a new experience while keeping the community intact.

Before this rumor, there were many conflicting opinions. The fact that the original game was completely removed clearly disappointed many people. Because all the data, the items that they spend so much effort plowing, even spending money to actually buy may be lost in the conversion process. At this point, if there is no reasonable solution, Blizzard will certainly face a backlash from the players.

However, on the positive side, this means players can get their hands on Overwatch 2 without having to spend money on buying a new game. Gamers are supposed to be able to update the original Overwatch game they already have.
​

Finally, it should be emphasized that these are all just rumors for now. Blizzard has not made any confirmation so until announced at Blizzcon 2019, this information, we just “listen for fun” only.
