Date: [Enter Date]
Overwatch 2 director Aaron Keller has responded to the game’s recent review bombing on Steam, while assuring fans that a wealth of exciting content lies ahead for them. Since its launch on August 10, Overwatch 2 has unfortunately become the worst user-reviewed game on the platform, with an abysmal score of just 0.96 based on a meager 10% approval rating from 92,028 votes.
In a statement on Blizzard.com, Keller acknowledged the review bombing and its impact but emphasized the joy of witnessing new players joining the game, which far outweighs the negativity. “We also launched on Steam last week, and, although being review-bombed isn’t a fun experience, it’s been great to see lots of new players jump into Overwatch 2 for the first time,” Keller wrote. “Our goal with Overwatch 2 has been to make the game more accessible than ever for more people than ever before.”
Keller also addressed the cancellation of Overwatch 2’s highly anticipated PvE Hero mode, acknowledging its influence on the review bombing. However, he assured fans that the vision for Overwatch 2 remains steadfast, promising an ever-expanding and evolving game. “If we can’t turn back the clock, then what can we do? We can keep adding to and improving Overwatch 2. That is how we move forward,” Keller stated. This commitment includes introducing new maps, heroes, game modes, missions, stories, events, cosmetics, and features to create a continually improving gaming experience.
Despite the cancellation of the PvE Hero mode, Overwatch 2 enthusiasts can still anticipate smaller PvE story missions, specifically those featured in the latest season called Invasion. These story missions will focus on players’ fight against Null Sector and shed light on the backstory of renowned heroes such as Lucio, Reinhardt, and others before Winston united them under the Overwatch banner.

As Overwatch 2 strives to overcome the obstacles it faces, Keller’s statement reiterates the team’s dedication to delivering an exceptional gaming experience and igniting excitement for the future of Overwatch.
