Junker Queen revealed outright as a tank, looks like there's also a tease of the Kitsune hero (probably support?)

I'm hoping they have one or two more supports and tanks on launch too

Honestly, that seems like a smart move at this point with how muddled the marketing is. Keep any mention of PvE on ice so you can focus the PR push on the multiplayer update being free -- so you can draw people back out of curiosity who might be dissuaded by the idea of paying for Overwatch 2 and wouldn't care enough to investigate the way that they are splitting up the content.

was the kitsune hero leaked somewhere previously, because every mention of them i see now specifically calls them "her" and that seems weird when all we've seen is 2 seconds of a fox running unless there was a prior leak that was like "alpha has a fox girl in it"

yeah some references on the new deathmatch map. This has a good overview. She's related (by blood or circumstance) to the Shimadas somehow:

my guess is:

1) date for next beta [presumably july]
2) junker queen and kitsune reveal as i imagine both will be in the next beta
3) comment on supports going into beta 2 (either a general change or explanation why there isn't one)
4) a dps hero rework

i would be shocked if PvE is mentioned at all, even in a "we're working on it" way.

Is it Overwatch 2 because the old code is held together by bubblegum and dreams. Or Overwatch 2 for marketing reasons.

They're probably gonna talk about OW2's new F2P payment/content model as well. Probably a battlepass or something

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

In the beginning it was OW2 because it was adding a weighty PvE campaign and intended to sell itself as a retail sequel for the PvE modes while just being OW1+ for the PvP, to the point where OW1 and OW2 were originally planned to share competitive matchmaking.

Then both ABK and Overwatch spent the last three years at the head of an absolute shitshow- falling way behind on development as they've struggled to keep up with their output across all the ongoing Blizzard titles (which is why they've gone radar silent on PvE since it's likely way behind schedule), the game state of OW1 going into nightmare mode for like two years as the meta just turned into some of the most hated the game had ever seen (Which is why OW2 is making massive changes to PvP from OW1 now), the OWL becoming an openly-discussed joke that's on very obvious life support to make it to OW2's release (likewise), and of course all the bad poo poo that went down on the company side of things (which is why they're desperate to get their foot in the door and just give OW2 away for free since apparently ABK's game sales have been very visibly damaged by all this asshattery- see the latest Call of Duty and D2R both underperforming heavily compared to expectations)

They want OW2 out NOW while people still care, in as many hands as possible to try and bribe some goodwill back from the gaming public by releasing a high-profile game everyone is playing, and have seemingly changed everything from their initially-discussed plans to make it happen at this point. If I had to guess, OW2 is on a THIS YEAR OR BUST schedule, but it's shedding a lot of weight to make it happen.

Battleborn was released a year before Fortnite showed what a F2P economy could pull, got upstaged by Overwatch and had Randy Pitchford trying to sell it.

Randy was very adamant about not letting the game go to or relaunching as a F2P game and opted to let the game disappear from existence, and the industry considered it a dead end. Then Fortnite showed up and upended the industry.

Overwatch isn't a MOBA though right? Shouldn't a MOBA have lanes and creeps etc?

the hero/ability design is basically lifted straight out of MOBAs, the actual gameplay ofc is mostly fps elements and bizarrely the engine still retains a bunch of the original mmorpg dna from its origin.

I wonder if the Push maps could be modded for spawning creeps that go forwards from left, mid and right parts of the map?
Toronto would probably be best balanced for this. Colosseum is bit too asymmetrical on left/right axis.
Mobawatch could be an interesting game mode.

Technically no but kinda yes, while Battleborn most certainly did.

Ooh, then we could have a whole new avenue of toxicity, who gets to kill which creeps for Ult charge! I can almost hear the 5-way argument over kill stealing the little chicken bots.
