Activision Blizzard announced that Overwatch 2 was in the works with plans to launch on Nintendo Switch alongside other platforms.
After a long time of silence regarding the title, the company shared an update on the game’s status, although it was not exactly good news. It was confirmed that Overwatch 2 would not be launching in 2021, meaning fans will have to wait till 2022 at earliest before it arrives.
We expect Blizzard’s net bookings to grow, given the momentum in World of Warcraft and the other initiatives we have in the business. Our outlook does not include Diablo IV or Overwatch 2 launching in 2021.
And while Diablo Immortal is progressing well and we anticipate its launch later this year, we don’t have any material contribution from the title in our outlook presently.
Not unsurprising given how little the title has been talked about since its original announcement. But as we can imagine a lot of people are looking forward to a new instalment of Overwatch.
