The 2022 season of the Overwatch League will begin with an early compilation of Overwatch 2, Blizzard has confirmed.

Vice President of the Overwatch League in Blizzard, Jon Spector, Twitteó on the company’s plans for the next season of the League, which confirms that it is currently scheduled to start at some point April 2022.

In a second Tweet, Spector cited Dopetsports Reporter Liz Richardson, who had received the confirmation that the season 2022 “will begin in an early compilation of Overwatch 2” of an overwatch spokesman. Spector did not elaborate this, but you said that Blizzard “will share more details about 2022 timelines of construction, soon and more information, in general, in our 2022 season as we approach April.”

Competitive players, no doubt, will be happy to get their hands on Outwatch 2 to experience the changes made to the original game for themselves. The PVP matches of Overwatch 2, for example, will be 5v5, with each equipment containing two distributors of damage and two support characters, but only one tank.

Analysis: What does this say about the release date of Overwatch 2?

This is a fairly large news for Overwatch 2, which, at the time of writing, does not really have a solid launch date and has not been much lately. However, there are many reports on a possible launch date. Very recently, an insider of Overwatch, Metro, tweeted that they had heard the development of Overwatch 2 “takes more than expected” and that a version 2022 “does not seem likely.”

However, even more recently than that, a Dexerto report dismissed this and affirmed that they have heard of sources that the release of overwatch 2 soon is a high priority and that the team is “seeking to take it out before the summer of 2022”.

The news that an early compilation of the game will be used in the 2022 Overwatch League suggests that Blizzard still has a 2022 version in their places of interest. The given competitors will play in an “early compilation”, a public release along with the Owrewatch League is unlikely, but maybe it is possible that Overwatch fans do not have to wait too much too much after that.

It is worth noting, of course, that no official launch date has been confirmed by Activision Blizzard, so we can not know it safely until that happens. In a win call from August (through IGN), the company only declared that the development of the game “approved an important internal landmark in recent weeks” and that the team would be “revealing more than the game in the coming months to measure That approach the subsequent stages. of production. “
