It’s either an exciting or cataclysmic (or both!) week for the Overwatch community. As planned, this week Blizzard shut down the team shooter in favor of bringing Overwatch 2 online the next day. While the game purportedly offers more options, characters, and even a free-to-play model, it’s also a big shift that an entire community has to adjust to all at once.
While I don’t have any dog in this fight, having never played the original, I would love to hear from those of you who are making this transition from Overwatch 1 to Overwatch 2. How do you feel about it? What’s got you excited, and what has made you frustrated or dismayed?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
