Overwatch 2's Canceled PvE Mode Would Have Justified the Sequel

When Overwatch 2 was announced, fans were initially excited but hesitant. The first Overwatch had been languishing in update obscurity, so fans were naturally excited to finally get an update about the game. However, Overwatch had only been out for a few years, and considering the shelf life of other Blizzard projects, it was odd to get a sequel announcement so early. Thankfully, Blizzard clarified that there would be a host of new features coming to Overwatch 2 like a dedicated PvE mode, more story content, single-player options, and hero customization to justify the sequel. The studio even said that Overwatch and Overwatch 2 would co-exist together. Overwatch players could play with Overwatch 2 players and vice versa.
