Overwatch 2 expected as the messiah
Everyone in the video game sphere knows today the internal problems of Activision-Blizzard, problems which really impacted the release of certain titles like Diablo IV, or Overwatch 2the latter having already been announced for a few years now. But we will have to wait another 2023 to be able to touch the game. Daniel Alegre, CEO of Blizzard confirms the reasons for these postponements:
« As we work with new management and with the franchises themselves, particularly in key creative positions, it has become apparent that some Blizzard content planned for next year will receive more development time to reach its full potential.” .
In order to reduce players’ expectations and reassure them, Blizzard has implemented a closed beta that we have already detailed beforewhich will allow us to know a little more about the ambition of the game. The announcement of the beta date was made on a stream devoted to the development of the game last Friday.
You can now register for the closed beta ofOverwatch 2 scheduled for April 26 on the official website.
