Title: Overwatch 2's long-awaited co-op story missions will go live in August Post by: HCK on May 17, 2023, 04:05:07 pm Overwatch 2's long-awaited co-op story missions will go live in August
<p>Blizzard has revealed the <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/overwatch-2/">Overwatch 2[/url] roadmap for the rest of 2023, including details on when the first story missions are coming to the game. They'll be available in season six, which should start in mid-August.</p><p>Story missions are part of the long-awaited co-op side of the game. When Blizzard released Overwatch 2 last October, the player vs. environment (PvE) aspects of the game that it first <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2019-11-01-blizzard-overwatch-2-blizzcon-gameplay-trailer.html">showed off at BlizzCon in 2019[/url] were not available. That's because the team <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/overwatch-2-pvp-beta-update-pve-175309062.html">needed more time[/url] to work on the PvE modes. </p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The studio didn't want to keep fans waiting much longer for an overhaul of the traditional, competitive (or PvP) side of Overwatch 2 after what was effectively a two-year content drought. So, Blizzard split development of the two halves so it could get the sequel out faster. There have been PvE experiences in Overwatch 2, but so far they've been constrained to limited-time events.</p><div id="db7f3932b61140e0be0029bca7e2ddde"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">#Overwatch2 (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Overwatch2?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw): A Look Ahead ✨ Join us as we share more details about everything we have planned for 2023, including new events, PvE, new Heroes, new maps, & more. |
