Overwatch 2 leaker reveals worrisome details about OW2 development Blizzard EntertainmentEver since Overwatch 2 was announced Blizzard has basically been dead silent on anything and everything related to the new game, and it could stay like that even after BlizzCon 2021 if new rumors are to be believed. To be fair, Jeff Kaplan and the other members of the dev team did say they would basically be practicing \u201cradio silence\u201d on all things Overwatch 2 until it was ready, but that hasn\u2019t stopped players from seeking out any shreds of information they can. During a stream on January 15, Overwatch leaker Metro \u2014 who correctly predicted the new game\u2019s announcement at BlizzCon a few years back \u2014 told Dexerto that in his opinion, we shouldn\u2019t expect any huge news on the game at this year\u2019s event when it happens February 19-20. After Dexerto asked Metro if he had heard anything about Overwatch 2 news in Twitch chat, the leaker replied that we may be in for an even longer wait. \u201cI heard things, I heard that they\u2019re really f***ing slow and that they\u2019re delaying it, I heard they\u2019re really slow at developing it,\u201d he said. \u201cFrom what I heard, it doesn\u2019t sound good at all, it sounds like it\u2019s very far off.\u201d While a release date at BlizzCon this year might be wishful thinking, Metro did add we could see some new heroes revealed and shown off over the weekend. \u201cThey\u2019re probably going to show a few new heroes at BlizzCon, that\u2019s the main thing we\u2019re going to get in terms of multiplayer, because there\u2019s not much else to show,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut, they\u2019re definitely not coming for Overwatch 1, unless they change plans, but it doesn\u2019t look like it, you know?\u201d Again, while Metro has been right in the past, it is wise to take what he says with a grain of salt since it isn\u2019t an official announcement from Blizzard. As for what heroes we could see revealed this year, Sojourn is obviously in the mix, along with a potential new Japanese hero a lot of players a cryptic teaser for with the Kanezaka mini-event for Hanzo was hinting at. It\u2019s easy to be torn on Overwatch 2, especially with this leak. On one hand, we all want the game to come out soon so we can play it and experience the new content. On the other, as fans, none of us wants to see the new game be the Cyberpunk 2077 of its launch cycle. Either way, we seem to be in for a wait no matter how you look at it so, at this point, any update on new content come BlizzCon in February will be a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
