The more time passes, the closer Overwatch 2 gets to its original version. After abandoning the famous PvE mode that players were waiting for more than anything, the shooter only has a few new features and other adjustments to differentiate itself from its predecessor. Today, Overwatch 2 is more of a major update than a true sequel. However, here we are Blizzard is set to roll back one of the biggest changes made to this version of the game.at the risk of undoing all their efforts. In order to balance the overall experience and make the games more dynamic and less boring, the passage ofOverwatch has Overwatch 2 marked the introduction of 5-on-5 games.
By removing one tank character per team and reworking the role, the developers believed they were addressing some of the game’s biggest issues. With more readable matchups and reduced matchmaking times, the introduction of 5v5 certainly had a positive impact on the FPS. However, this reduction in team composition wasn’t to everyone’s taste. For a large part of the community, this overhaul of the games had too great an impact on the gameplay. Forcing regulars to relearn everything after six years of playing is a radical strategy to say the least. Since the launch ofOverwatch 2 In 2022, 6v6 fans are demanding a return of this mode: demands that Blizzard has always refused… Until now.
A return that is not done in one click
Overwatch Director Aaron Keller has finally spoken out about the return of the 6-player format. The topic seems to be so weighty within the development team that the statement was pushed back in order to be reworked. After leaving players eager to learn if 6v6 had a future in Overwatch 2, Blizzard’s position is now clear. Yes, the old team composition might make a comeback in the future, only if numerous tests prove that it is the most effective mode.
However, Keller explains that this possible rollback will not be a small matter. In addition to a return to the higher matchmaking time, The director is primarily concerned about an impact on in-game performance, particularly for older platforms. “Overwatch 2 has received a number of updates and additions that impact the game’s performance. In 6v6 matches, these improvements can have a significant impact on our players, causing the game to experience performance slowdowns on older systems. Overwatch is a rapidly evolving game, and it’s important to our player experience that the game runs smoothly across all of our platforms.” he explains. He adds that a test could take place very soon, but that it would be necessary several seasons to achieve performance adjustments for a definitive return of 6v6 games.
Despite the reluctance, Aaron Keller says that this speech is only “the beginning of the conversation” regarding 5v5 and 6v6. This (very) long blog post is therefore not for nothing: Blizzard intends to act to meet the community’s expectations. Would the return of the original game mode motivate you to try the experience again?
