It’s worth noting that Overwatch 2 doesn’t actually have an official release date or window that can be delayed yet and we won’t know for sure when to expect the game until it’s confirmed by Activision Blizzard.Īmid Activision Blizzard’s ongoing litigation, the company has provided an update on the progress of some of its games, Overwatch 2 included. Metro does add that they hope this information is false and will be proven wrong. Overwatch streamer Metro recently tweeted (via NME) that the have heard from “multiple people” that development of Overwatch 2 is taking “longer than expected” and as a result a 2022 release “does not seem likely anymore.” It also aligns quite well with a recent report from Dexerto which dismisses 2023 claims and says that, according to sources, the Overwatch 2 team 'is looking to get it out before the Summer of 2022'.ĭespite Activision saying recently that Overwatch 2 is making “great progress”, there are rumors that the game is facing a delay which could see it release in 2023. Expanding on this during a behind the scenes video during BlizzCon 2021, Kaplan and his team said that they “need some more time till we can say it’s perfectly polished in the way that we want it', adding that “in order to make a game great it takes time, energy, collaboration…Our goal is for Overwatch 2 to be the worthy successor to the first game, to be the next evolution and to be a true sequel.”ĭespite recent rumors (more on that below) that the game might miss 2022, this announcement actually bodes well for a 2022 Overwatch 2 release. In December 2020 Kaplan added in an update that the team is working 'extremely hard' but there's still 'a ways to go' in terms of the game's development.

Raising hopes that 2022 will be the year, in the same call COO, Daniel Alegre, said that “The pipeline is progressing really well, and we anticipate that 2022 will be a great year for Blizzard.” Even more promisingly, Blizzard’s Jay Allen Brack said that a “major internal milestone” had been passed in the development of Overwatch 2 in November. In a February 2021 financial call Activision Blizzard CFO, Dennis Durkin, said the company’s outlook 'does not include' Overwatch 2 releasing in 2021.
