Trying to follow competitive Overwatch has been a turbulent ride over the past few days. Beyond the loss of sponsorship for the OWL, the OWL 2022 Season is also being jeaprodized with reports stating that there may be a potential delay for next season. Read on as we dive into the rumours!
OWL 2022 Season – Listing the Rumours
Indeed, the best thing to do here is to take a step back. In doing so, we have the opportunity to list all of the rumours below for you:
- Sources told Dot Esports – they may be making the 2021 offseason longer by adding more events as the development of Overwatch 2 is taking so long
- Overwatch leaker Metro – has revealed that the relase of Overwatch 2 is not likely for 2022, taking much longer than expected. (Reliable leaker, with successful leaks in the past).
Accordingly, these two rumours are the main source for the entire discussion. With regards to a response, Blizzard has only confirmed that there will NOT be a ‘hiatus year’.
Sadly, one thing is on everyone’s mind – can Overwatch survive this both as a competitive and casual game?
In the minds of many, it’s a very unlikely notion. Professionals cannot simply wait for the next game to be ready, and may rotate to other esports as they’ve already done with VALORANT for example.
