CONFIRMED - Overwatch 2 will be played starting APRIL 2022 for the Overwatch League by Jon Spector (VP of OWL)

I can't believe it, it's finally coming.

No confirmation on when the public/general playerbase will be able to play, but if pro's are able to play beginning April 2022, that means it's likely a closed beta beginning Feb/March to get teams practicing and strategizing a few months before hand!

Thoughts?

Professional league players advertising the actual game for an anniversary launch is actually really smart. Let's hope we like what we see!

Cool, I'm excited to see what Blizzard learned from the first OW from the competitive perspective.

Mind the word PLAN. Don’t get your hopes up just yet.

F for all the tank talent being cut from the teams when ow1 actually dies.

My thoughts are that they say that now and when we actually get there they are going to tell us to wait another year

My thoughts are that "We can confirm that our plan is..." does not mean that it's confirmed to be happening. That is still just under a year away. A lot can happen in that time.

@SuperChez100.

Based on the fact that ow 2 was announced in 2019 I think we can expect some pretty great stuff from the devs (But not the only one tank thing that sucks)

He doesn't even mention OW 2 though?

I can’t believe we still have to wait 8 months and I’ve just about given up all hope on this game.

I guess I don’t understand why they’re running a competitive league before they even give the game a chance to sit and develop a meta of its own, but I suppose they value the money more

I feel like 'early build' is being interpreted as pre-release but since esport Leagues don't normally play a game right after it launches, this could very well be a post release build.
