On social media many fans are angry as they’re looking for more content to enjoy in Overwatch, something that hasn’t really happened since the first months of 2020. Most of the fans hope to get some more answers during BlizzConline, which takes place from February 19 to February 20. A lot of them are asking to at least offer more content for the current Overwatch game while waiting for the release of the sequel.
Overwatch 2 would provide a more polished and mechanically updated version featuring an all-new story mode. Recently a lot of professional players in Overwatch have also made the switch to VALORANT, as they feel the game has stagnated while waiting for the long-anticipated sequel.
