Overwatch 2 will likely be a solid game and maybe even better than the original but apparently, it needs more time than people were hoping for. Even CSGO has been updated more in the past couple of years. The hope is that Overwatch 2 is able to breathe new life into a game that has been very stale compared to its counterparts like VALORANT and League of Legends. A holiday release specifially would not be a major surprise. That being said, it is more realistic that Overwatch 2 hits stores later in 2021. There is still the possibility that it releases in the summer or at least a beta comes out soon. The thinking now is that the game is either a Q4, holiday or early 2022 release date. Activision revealed that it doesn’t expect two of Blizzard’s biggest games, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4, to launch in 2021. Other sources like Metro and even an Amazon posting for a new Overwatch Artbook that is coming out in October and offers a “sneak peek” into Overwatch 2 make it seem unlikely to be coming out soon. While this may not mean anything for the game, it is hard to believe that the flagship league for Overwatch would not be played on Overwatch 2 if it was out. Recently, The Game Haus was made aware that the OWL likely will not be played on Overwatch 2 at all in 2021. Many are hoping for at least a beta but unfortunately, this does not seem likely. The thing is with Blizzcon getting moved to February there is a chance the game could be released then or soon after. This was where Overwatch 2 was revealed to be in development and has not had much said about it since. It is almost exclusively where their new games have been revealed.

Here is a look at when the release date for Overwatch 2 could be.īlizzcon is normally a time where Blizzard love to make huge reveals.
Overwatch 2 release date 2021 professional#
With a game that is losing players to games that are updated more regularly and a professional League that needs content to stay relevant, a lot of people are hoping that Overwatch 2 will be coming soon. According to Activision Blizzard, Overwatch 2 will not release anytime this. While fans eagerly await more news about Overwatch 2 at BlizzCon 2021, hopes of hearing an official release date are waning. The reason for this is that Overwatch has not had many if any updates in nearly a year since the announcement with Blizzards stating the reasoning was to focus on Overwatch 2. Overwatch 2 isnt releasing in 2021, according to Blizzard, which is disappointing to the games many fans - but the delay could be for the best. There may not be a more anticipated game than Blizzard’s Overwatch 2.
