Overwatch 2 PvP will be revealed close week

In his first Overwatch developer update video since taking over from Jeff Kaplan, new director Aaron Keller same that Blizzard will showcase Overwatch 2's PvP during a livestream that will take place on May 20.

The teem will feature Keller, along with extend to designer Geoff Goodman, art director Dion Carl Rogers, and other members of the development team, as they show off new maps and discuss the "philosophy" driving roughly of the changes that are beingness made for Overwatch 2.

"Just to set expectations, everything that we'll be showing is low development and placid a bring in progress," Helen Keller said. "And we will be talking more near Overwatch 2's PvP by and by in the twelvemonth, then there's still more to issue forth."

Keller likewise disclosed that developers wish be taking set out in an AMA on Reddit to talk about the past pentad years of Overwatch. But it hopefully won't just be a history lesson: Keller added that Blizzard is "dedicating to unselfish Thomas More information connected the development of Overwatch 2 with all of you."

As Overwatch developer updates go it's very short and sweet (I put on't mean Kaplan was ever so able to clock one in under five minutes), and honestly I'd actually rather beget a bet at what Blizzard is preparation abreast the PvE side of the crippled, which is where the epic changes will come from. Still, it'll be interesting to finally see what's coming on the competitive side, besides, especially since Overwatch 2 PvP will be compatible with the original gage.

One thing that I wouldn't expect to see during the watercourse is a release date, since information technology's still presumptively a mindful way off: Blizzard said earlier this twelvemonth that Overwatch 2 is not expected to be outer until 2022 at the soonest.
