Overwatch developer 2 addresses the rumors of the new release date

This week, Blizzard delayed Overwatch 2. To this end, the expectation is that the game no longer be launched in 2022 and now arrive in 2023. And this is a reasonable expectation, especially since Blizzard and does not anticipate the financial blessing that the release of the sequel would provide. For the year. However, tackling these expectations, an administrator of the community of the game said that the release date 2023 is not official.

A rumor to clarify: I see a lot of people have written assuming a release date in 2023, said the developer. Without being pedantic, I note that a release date or beta date earnings call yesterday was not disclosed. While I am not prepared to discuss dates with you today, I want to cancel the rumor of a release date of 2023 as something official.

The quote here almost suggests that a 2022 release is still on the table, and could be, but at this point, this seems unlikely. That said, if the above quote does not come to this, what is further directed to prepare fans for another delay until 2023? At this time, the above quotation alone has created more speculation. However, it was not all that the community manager had to say.

The news that a team is taking longer than expected with a game is never easy, especially in a case in which the players have been eagerly awaiting any information about the release, beta, etc., added the manager community. Forums, rRddit and social networks have been a reflection of the frustration that many players think OW are feeling today, and that s fine. Jodie (our new CM, the possibly know) and I ve been spending the last day we collect comments and summarize today and send them to those who need them. While it is important that our team do everything in our power to meet the high expectations we all have for the Overwatch franchise, we must also be aware of how it affects the community that has grown around our game. Meanwhile, I want everyone to know that we understand what is happening in the forums. Although we still believe that this is the right thing to do for the team, the game and, ultimately, by the players, emotions are shared today.

For now, I do not know when Blizzard know about Overwatch 2, but all that has been said and shown so far suggests that the game is not far away. Again, there have been rumors that the game is having serious developmental problems, so who knows what the future holds for O verwatch fans.
