I was a huge fan of the first (on Switch) but ever since the upgrade to Overwatch 2, I’ve barely touched it.
If you have managed to avoid this game, continue to do so. It is dying, dying, dying, and blizzard doesn’t care anymore.
This patch and event already started 6 hours and 30 minutes before this article was even posted... xD
Wonder if it’ll be censored in the UK like the BBC did with the cartoons recently
Must be desperate to be playing the ip card. They have always borrowed heavily from pop culture. Still, have to say Blizzard have always made a good cgi / animated trailer for their games. (Never makes me want to lpay them lol, but they tend to be stunning to watch nevertheless.)
Love Transformers but ***** Blizzard.
Really unfortunate that Overwatch keeps on declining ever since Overwatch 2 in general and even personally - my friends and I used to occasionally play it, but completely stopped doing so not long after that -, even more so since this is such a cool collab!
@VoodooTrumpet
Same for me, it is trash.
Did the author think nobody knew who owned or what Overwatch 2 was in the title?
@VoodooTrumpet Same here I loved the first one but since I can't play it anymore I have no desire to play 2.
@UltraBEAR Just like Heroes of the Storm. It will always be around but they will stop supporting it like they did with HoS.
@Tasuki HoTS being put on life support still hurts for me. My favorite multiplayer game, was playing up until they announced it was going into maintenance mode (the day after my birthday too!).
@Pho Yeah I loved HotS as well. I actually enjoyed it more then Hearthstone and was the only MOBA I played. Had alot of fun with it maybe MS might bring it back now that they own it.
