Overwatch 2 Campaign Rollout Falters Amid Development Troubles and Corporate Restructuring
- Story missions were a major selling point for Overwatch 2, but only 1 set has been released since October 2022 launch
- Sources say campaign missions range from fully playable to still in concept, held up pursuing "Blizzard Quality"
- PvP was always the priority; PvE team said it needed 2x size to give modes proper resources
- January Xbox layoffs affected Overwatch 2 devs working on narrative, PvE, and events
- Sentiment is that Activision and Microsoft have lost faith in PvE based on low engagement and finances
