Blizzard Cancels Overwatch 2's PvE Hero Mode and Scraps Co-op Missions and Hero Progression

Blizzard has canceled the original vision for Overwatch 2's PvE Hero mode due to the effort required to pull all of that together into a Blizzard-quality experience that they can ship to players. However, the game's creative leads are assuring fans that PvE is still a focus for the game moving forward, with story missions coming in Season 6 and a new support hero. Blizzard is moving away from the idea of a singular PvE release moment and into a plan of doing PvE stuff all the time.
