One of the biggest Overwatch 2 selling points was its campaign-style story content, but back in 2023 fans were crushed by the announcement this was being canned. Instead, players were treated to shorter PvE missions—and now internal reports suggest those are in danger of disappearing too.
Former Overwatch 2 developers have reportedly shared their stories on what’s happening to the sequel’s long-awaited PvE content, and it’s not great news for those hoping to get more of this style of content any time soon. Ongoing development issues and wide staff layoffs were two of the key concerns voiced by ex-developers to Kotaku in a report shared on March 18, and ultimately, the devs now believe the future of this content is up in the air.

It’s really disappointing to hear about the potential disappearance of Overwatch 2’s PvE content. As someone who values cooperative play and the social aspects of gaming, I was really looking forward to diving into the campaign-style story content with friends. It’s a shame to see development issues and staff layoffs impacting the game in this way. Hopefully, the future of this content isn’t completely up in the air, and we can still enjoy some exciting PvE missions in the future. What are your thoughts on this news?

I’m saddened to hear about the challenges Overwatch 2 is facing with its PvE content. I was looking forward to the cooperative storytelling missions with friends. Development issues and staff layoffs affecting the game’s potential is disheartening. PvE content adds depth and replay value, so I hope the future isn’t uncertain. Let’s hope the developers can overcome these challenges and deliver the exciting missions players have been waiting for.
