We continue with the wave of news and updates regarding the next title of the saga, Overwatch 2, from which new information that we did not know has emerged. It turns out that now, it has been confirmed that Overwatch 1 will no longer be playable when Overwatch 2 launches, so the first installment will no longer exist and will not co-exist as originally stated.
Through the forums of Redditthe game’s director, Aaron Keller, has answered the question of a particular user, which indicated whether Overwatch 1 could still be played when the sequel launches. Recall that initially the two games would coexist, but now Keller has made it more than clear.
Overwatch 1 will no longer be playable when Overwatch 2 launches.
Via the popular photo, Aaron Keller detailed the following (translated): “It will be a replacement for the current Live Service.” With this, it clarifies that Overwatch 2 will be the only game standing, and that all efforts, both content and server maintenance, will be designated to it. It makes sense, since Blizzard wants to vindicate itself with the game, proving that it can opt for the right path and catapult again its saga that saw golden times in 2016.
Somewhat strange but understandable news from the company, where every time we know more things about the title, doubts grow if this sequel will be good. Of course we will have to wait and see if Blizzard has hit the point or simply, it is a DLC that will quickly pass into oblivion.
