Overwatch 2 has been delayed, with the title now looking like it may not be ready until at least 2023.
Speaking about the move, Activision Blizzard said during an investor presentation today:
“While we are still planning to deliver a substantial amount of content from Blizzard next year, we are now planning for a later launch for Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV than originally envisaged. These are two of the most eagerly anticipated titles in the industry, and our teams have made great strides towards completion in recent quarters. But we believe giving the teams some extra time to complete production and continue growing their creative resources to support the titles after launch will ensure that these releases delight and engage their communities for many years into the future.”
Overwatch 2 was originally announced for Switch and other platforms in November 2019. With the game quite awhile off, it’ll be interesting to see if Blizzard still ends up supporting Nintendo’s current console.
