Overwatch 2 had a rocky start, the game was plagued with issues at launch and didn’t meet with players’ expectations. The game has had to compete with the likes of Marvel Rivals, Valorant, Fortnite and COD. Direct Aaron Keller addressed some criticisms in a recent Overwatch 2 direct and emphasized the need for the company to help the title evolve. Here’s hoping that Overwatch 2 ’s Season 15 update delivers on the much-needed evolution it promises.
