More Overwatch 2 News Coming February 2021

Blizzard has gone mostly quiet regarding Overwatch 2 this year, especially with the cancellation of BlizzCon. We know now when we'll be hearing more from the team, though, as game director Jeff Kaplan outlined upcoming plans in a year-end developer update video.

Kaplan said that we'll be hearing more details on Overwatch 2 in February at BlizzCon Online. That event was announced as a substitute for the in-person event that was canceled this year, and it only made sense that we'd hear more about Blizzard's upcoming slate of games and big game updates there.

The developer update also detailed a new free-for-all map, Kanezaka, coming to the original Overwatch, and recapped the game's updates throughout this year. Kaplan also mentioned that the team is mostly focused on Overwatch 2 right now.

Blizzard has previously announced that we'll see the latest on Diablo IV at BlizzCon Online as well.

That event will take place February 19-20, 2021. Though it's a virtual-only event, Blizzard promises it will consist of the usual round of game panels and even fan-focused segments devoted to cosplay and the March of the Murlocs.
