Blizzard recently announced that Overwatch 2’s PvE content is getting significantly scaled back, a piece of news that shocked and upset fans. People have theorized that one reason for the changes was Blizzard’s return-to-office policy, which requires developers to return to the office.
Overwatch 2 executive producer Jared Neuss said on Twitter that speculation suggesting that Blizzard’s RTO policy led to the changes to Overwatch 2 “isn’t true.”
“Managing PvE and PvP development simultaneously has been a challenge for the team for years. It’s a less exciting headline but it’s reality,” Neuss explained. More details will be made available in the next Director’s Take update, Neuss said.
