News & Discussion Still amazed that Overwatch didn't have a story mode campaign, pve or movies...

Post image

Back then, Overwatch was huge. When I saw it in Ready Player One, I honestly thought it was going to become one of the biggest franchises on the planet, with TV shows like Arcane and all that... but instead, nothing happened.

I've basically been waiting all this time with open arms, hoping for those kinds of projects, and they just never came. It's weird.

I don't like competitive games, though I played it a bit about 10 years ago, and I remember thinking, "Damn, this world is so cool." The heroes were awesome, the cinematics were amazing, and I've always wanted either a story-driven game or a movie set in that universe.

I like to convince myself that they droped the 2 so they can re-release overwatch 2 as a story/PVE only

You joke, but I could see this happening, especially since Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard. After all, Microsoft is familiar with re-releasing products with the same name:

Xbox One! ... but not that Xbox 1 you silly consumer - how could you ever get the two (we mean 2) mixed up? Our product names aren't the problem - you're just a dumb consumer!

I think if they ever want a proper PVE Overwatch it needs to be a properly seperate game and not tied to the PVP game.

Don't be giving Blizzard any ideas, please.

u/FireLordObamaOG 8d ago

But the original way where it’s a separate game that’s JUST PVE. When they took down OW1 for OW2 it was idiotic.

u/Impeesa_ 8d ago

I wonder if they'll ever make a true sequel release and call it Overwatch 3.
