Overwatch 2 Is Dropping Its PvE Hero Mode
Overwatch 2 was announced in 2019 and alongside it was a much-wanted PvE mode for the hero shooter. Now, less than a year since it was launched, that PvE mode has been canceled.
Announced today via a Twitch stream (which is also available onYouTube), executive producer Jaren Neuss explained why the highly anticipated promised game mode would not be released after all. Blizzard has shown some PvE gameplay in the past, but it seems the team came to the realization that it would not be up to the quality the studio demands of its releases.
«Development on the PvE experience has not really hasn't made the progress that we have hoped. „
Neuss went on to say that while the team has built “a bunch of amazing content,» with «awesome missions,» it didn't quite meet the «Blizzard-quality experience» the team is aiming for.
«Do we continue to pour all that effort into PvE, hoping we can land it at some point in the future, or do we stick with this set of values that we have aligned on and focus on the live game and focus on serving all of you? With everything we have learned about what it takes to operate this game at the level that you deserve, it's clear that we can't deliver on that original vision for PvE that was shown in 2019. What that means is that we won't be delivering that dedicated hero mode with talent trees, that long-term talent power progression.»
