It’s hard to imagine that we’ll go yet another year, maybe longer, without a new hero (the most recent one, Echo, arrived in April 2020) or fresh maps for the core game modes. But doubling down on the commitment to play OWL on Overwatch 2 puts a soft deadline on PVP development. It seems there’s still lots of work to do.
And that’s not to mention whatever new heroes are in the pipeline and how they fit in with the current roster, as well as the new maps and game modes. As recently as a few weeks ago, the devs were testing Doomfist as a tank. Then there are heroes that Team 4 is still trying to figure out what to do with.
Some abilities are getting revamped, like Mei’s primary fire no longer freezing enemies and the stun effect of Brigitte’s Shield Bash being removed. Some heroes, such as Sombra and Bastion, are getting massive overhauls. There’s a ton of rebalancing work going on to account for dropping one tank from each team. As things stand, despite OWL pros getting to test it out recently, and Blizzard showing off much more of it than PVE, Overwatch 2’s PVP is not ready.
