Overwatch 2 was first officially announced at the Blizzard Carnival in November 2019, but due to the internal and external troubles of Blizzard this year, the official did not disclose much information to fans. However, recently, the developers of Overwatch invited foreign content creators to participate in an internal meeting, after which these content creators gave Overwatch 2 high praise.
Popular tubing owner YourOverwatch tweeted that the non-disclosure agreement does not allow him to say too much, but he can say that he is very happy now. Twitch anchor EeveeA claimed that his expectations for Overwatch are very high, and ML7, also a Twitch anchor, said that his confidence in the future of Overwatch has been restored.
No matter what the developers showed, they seemed to impress the most negative content creators in the game. Former professional player Samito said he was optimistic for the first time in a long time. KarQ, the content creator of the Dorado Defenders of the Overwatch League, was traveling, but he paid the airline’s WIFI usage fee to participate in the event remotely, and then he said it was worth it.
For content creators to see more news of Overwatch 2, people’s reaction is low-key optimism and outspoken suspicion. Some fans claimed that Blizzard bought these content creators and allowed them to spread optimism in the community.
Content creators are doing everything they can to avoid cynicism without violating the confidentiality agreement, but the general Overwatch community has expressed a pessimistic attitude towards this game, which has not heard any positive news for months. Nevertheless, some fans still expressed trust in their optimism that they like the anchor.
The last time fans received new news about Overwatch 2 was in the 2021 Overwatch League Finals, when the official display of the new map and 5v5 mode. Overwatch 2 is currently still in development, with an undetermined release date.
