Unlikely. It looks basically the same as overwatch 1, and I think people are just over it.
yes bc its a new game that has been delayed for like 3+ years bro. Apart from that ow 2 will get an influx at the start and ppl will stop playing the game same as the first one.
People stopped playing the game because of the slow addition of new content and then the ending of all new content when OW2 development started. If the devs regularly add stuff to the game it will keep a large player base easily (Obviously not as large as valorant).
they need to learn from riot, every time they add a new agent it feels like a big update even though we dont get much. because its paced in competitive seasons rather than major events. i prefer constant updates for skins/agents/maps and smaller events than large events and a new hero every 5 months. (btw soujourn is the first new addition in 3 years)
I totally agree I think their decision to do OW2 and desert OW1 was disastrous. They have said that the content release schedule will be faster than it ever was in OW1 so I think they probably have learned from Valorant, at least I hope so.
Every big game has huge numbers on twitch in the first days/week. Did you remember when Halo Infinite was 500k+ viewers on twitch for like two days? Where is Halo Infinite now?
Drops were coming right after and streamers were already playing the new game for people to watch.
ow2 will be buzzing on release and then die off a couple months later IMO, hopefully not tho since i actually like overwatch
If there is a constant stream of updates like they say they are going to have, the game will be able to sustain a healthy community for a while
why is this even a question lmfao, of course not. theyre hardly even the same type of game, they just have similar graphics
i think he just means like ow pros coming back like pati and ans did. i dont think its going to happen since activision cannot run esports well but its definitely a possibility.
the hype on ow2 is so nonexistent that getting covid is more hype than that shit
Its not even “overwatch 2” imo, just a little bit touch and updates from the old overwatch. Hype on the first release but later it will be dead again or only popular in specific region
no chance. OW2 is literally just Overwatch with a small content update. It's pathetic
Yes.
It's supposed to be an actually NEW game entirely. If I can't notice any significant differences within a few seconds, yet alone a few hours, whats the point of a new game then xd
Well if you can't notice any differences you clearly don't play OW and your opinion on the game doesn't really matter. Also OW2 is mainly about PVE, people with OW1 will be able to play OW2 pvp without buying the game.

its literally like OW 1.1 update LMAO, and for the first look of beta the viewers count is also kinda dead tbh, so definitely no
I don't think OW2 will kill Valorant, however I do hope OW2 would bring the OWL back to mainstream. It's always nice to see another esports scene to watch and back in the day OWL was legit one of the best things I watched. Tho it's unlikely we'll go back to the OWL heyday, it would be nice to see it popping out once in a while
I expect a few pros might swap over from both Val & Apex, not necessarily super high profile players, but I can definitely see it happening
To answer this question seriously, OWL was a pretty big disaster for players. Besides the fact players often didn't get paid towards the end, Blizzard also fucked the players by forcing them to travel, play an immense amount of games, having a horribly balanced meta that killed DPS pros, etc.
You would have to be crazy to give OW2 a chance as a val pro, because val has consistently put their players first.
Over 500k viewers on twitch yesterday without any drops and almost everyone I have watched says 5v5 is a lot more fun than 6v6.
ow2 is like destiny 2 just another Activision thing to get more interest in the game for a while while it could've just been done in an update.R6 did better than that bruh, they changed the whole engine in an update. Hopefully it actually changes something and competes with val cuz i wanna see if riot has a response in case it happens.
no because they are destroying the esport because they removed a team member, the rosters will have to drop one of each of their players, which means it'll take a while for the competitive system to recover.
How come they gonna kill valorant when overwatch 2 themselves couldn't even survive lol
Its hilarious too me how a known game company Blizzard could loose to Rito a music company
