Overwatch 2 replaces the original

It became known that at the release of the game Overwatch 2, it may replace the current version of the game. Since the game of the first part can become completely unplayable, the developers have shared about this in their forum thread on Reddit.

One of the popular questions was “What does the term – Early Access game? Will there be a complete replacement of PvP in the original version, or completely stop supporting the first part?

We use the term “Early Access” to indicate that this is just the beginning of game development. We will release the shooter with new characters, maps, and features, but there will be more every season, every 9 weeks.

When Overwatch 2 launches on October 4, it will replace the current service game. – Aaron Keller (game director).

This is not an official statement from Blizzard, so it should be treated with some caution. Especially considering that the sequel will be 5 on 5 matches, while the original version was 6 on 6. The players may not appreciate such a change.

Recall that the game Overwatch 2 will be released on October 4 on PC and consoles PlatStation and Xbox. The game will be free to play, next year will be paid PvE campaign.
