Overwatch 2 is unlikely to receive PvE content anytime soon after the game's executive producer recently stated that fans would have to wait a while for it to arrive.
Players have been eagerly waiting to see what Blizzard Entertainment delivers as PvE content for Overwatch 2, given the promises previously made by the developer.
Jared Neuss, the executive producer of Overwatch 2, recently spoke about his team's interim plans for the game. When asked about PvE content, he said:

The new season begins in the second week of December. Some fans had optimistically hoped for PvE content to finally make its way to the game after not arriving in the opening season. However, all their hopes will now have to be put on hold.
It's not all doom and gloom for those who want to try out PvE content in Overwatch 2. While Neuss' comment indicates a delay, his mention of it also means that it will come eventually.
