Overwatch 2 is currently getting a lot of criticism from fans, and most recently review bombed on the game’s Steam page following the news that there’s no plans for PVE content for the next few seasons. In response, Aaron Keller, the game’s director, made a statement on Twitter to combat the rising backlash;
If we can’t turn back the clock, then what can we do? We can keep adding to and improving Overwatch 2. That is how we move forward. This means more maps, heroes, game modes, missions, stories, events, cool cosmetics, and features – an ever-expanding, evolving, and improving game. This is the future of Overwatch. One where we will continually create and innovate on what is making the game great now for the players who are playing now.
Keller’s response is exemplary in how to address criticism and own up to setbacks, while respecting your audience at the same time (we’re looking at you, John Garvin). Despite Overwatch 2’s recent criticism, core players have expressed that the game is in the best state yet, and feel the development team is actually listening to their feedback as the changes are represented with each update.
Overwatch 2 just received its biggest season launch ever, Invasion, offering a myriad additional content and updates. To read more about the future of Overwatch 2, you can check out the developer blog post here.
