Overwatch 2’s development team has taken fans behind the scenes of the game’s development during BlizzCon 2021.
Earlier this month, Activision Blizzard confirmed that we shouldn’t expect to see the release of Overwatch 2 in 2021. In a recent behind-the-scenes video during BlizzCon 2021, the game’s director Jeff Kaplan and its development team have touched a little more on why this might be. Towards the end of the video, the development team said that “right now, we can sit down and have a night of Overwatch 2 and have it be a really fun experience” but added that they “need some more time till we can say it’s perfectly polished in the way that we want it.” Kaplan himself said that “in order to make a game great it takes time, energy, collaboration… Our goal is for Overwatch 2 to be the worthy successor to the first game, to be the next evolution and to be a true sequel.” Over the course of the 40-minute behind-the-scenes video, the game’s development team weren’t shy about showing off some new details about the game and the many things that are being worked on and experimented with in order to make it feel like a “true sequel”.
