The PvE campaign was pitched as the sequel’s big pillar, now ex-devs tell Kotaku its future is unclear

Well, this is hardly unexpected.

Still, considering how PvE was supposed to be the pillar of Overwatch “2”, and the outwards-facing reason for the switchover, it’s sad. There was actually some cool promise in those PvE ideas, and now even the “light” version seems to be cancelled.

          Apparently, he and some ex Blizzard people created a new studio. But itl be a few years before they have any games to unveil. And honestly, that’s fine. I mean he could announce he’s retiring and it’d be fine. He earned it as far as I’m concerned.
