Overwatch 2 Devs Address Player Engagement, Fan Tone, Lessons Learned, Balance Criticisms, and Pro Scene Commitment

The Overwatch 2 development team remains calm about declining player engagement, attributing it to the game's free-to-play nature and the ease with which players can come and go. The team sees this as a normal ebb and flow and is not concerned. The launch of the Invasion season, which introduces new content, is not seen as a make-or-break moment for the game. Despite controversies and the cancellation of the PvE Hero mode, Overwatch 2 initially had a strong start with over 35 million players in the first month. The game has now launched on Steam, which is expected to further boost player numbers.

"Assassin's Creed Valhalla: DLC Removed, Great Moments Lost, and the Surprising Better Ending"

Ubisoft has announced that it will no longer support Assassin's Creed Valhalla with seasonal content updates, leaving players without access to several DLC events and seasonal celebrations. Fans are disappointed as these updates provided additional story and character moments, making the game world feel more alive. Some players expressed a desire for the events to be automatically triggered based on the calendar. Despite the disappointment, Assassin's Creed Valhalla was a successful game, generating $1 billion in revenue.

Diablo IV Season 1 Requires Fresh Characters for Battle Pass Progression

Diablo IV players will have to create a new character for each season to take part in its battle passes, according to producer Rod Fergusson. This means players won't be able to use the same character they played through the main game with when playing through seasonal content. While this is similar to previous content updates in the Diablo series, some players are criticizing the game's long grind for XP, which makes creating new characters difficult. Diablo IV's first season will begin in July.
