Recently, the well-known game **KOTAKU conducted an in-depth analysis of Blizzard's "Overwatch: Homecoming", revealing that the game has not developed as promised in 2023, but is full of twists and turns.
Overwatch 2 debuted in late 2022 as a highly anticipated sequel to the shooter with a disappointing initial performance. In particular, the PVE mode that could not be launched as scheduled has frustrated many loyal fans. Although the game has made some progress in terms of gameplay and support, the overall performance gives a sense of instability.
Over the past year, the game has seen the launch of three new heroes, each breathing new life into the game. However, these new characters have not been able to rekindle the player's enthusiasm for the game. Still, the rework of the two heroes, Dark Shadow and Road Rage, does bring freshness to the game, showcasing Blizzard's efforts in tweaking Overwatch 2's gameplay and hero design.
In August of this year, after "Overwatch 2" was launched on the Steam platform, it received a large number of bad reviews. Domestic and foreign players have expressed their dissatisfaction with Blizzard's operation and business model. Among them, the expensive microtransaction content and the fact that the Battle Pass unlocks new heroes have become the target of public criticism. A Hero** sells for up to $40, which has sparked an uproar from players**.
In terms of esports, although Blizzard insists that it will continue to cultivate a rich esports environment, the shutdown of Overwatch League this year has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the future of Overwatch 2. This raises concerns about the future prospects of the game.
It has been pointed out that Overwatch 2 has encountered a lot of difficulties at a stage where it should surpass games of the same genre. While the current version of the game is more stable than it was at the beginning of the year, there are still a number of issues that make people skeptical about its future development. For Blizzard, the road ahead of Overwatch 2 remains challenging.
