If you’re eager for Overwatch 2, you’ll have to wait a few more months as Overwatch Director Jeff Kaplan has confirmed that Overwatch 2 will be updated on BlizzCon Online in February. Developer updates Kaplan confirmed that Overwatch fans will learn more about the upcoming sequel at BlizzCon Online, which takes place February 19-20. The two-day event replaces the company’s annual BlizzCon and is usually a live fan event in Anaheim, California.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, Blizzard announced that it would skip physical events in 2020 and host an all-digital alternative in 2021. As a result of the pandemic, other conventions such as GDC and PAX have also moved online this year.
The rest of Kaplan’s developer updates focus on a new free deathmatch map called Kanasaka. Based on Japan’s location, Kanasaka is currently a free map that can be tested with PTR. The Overwatch Winter Wonderland 2020 event is also underway and will continue until January 5th.
