PvE isn't dead at Blizzard — at least not officially. The Overwatch director says the team "would never discount" the return of PvE content, according to GamesRadar+.

The comments come years after Overwatch 2's original story-driven PvE mode was scaled back, a decision that drew heavy criticism from players who had been promised a campaign as the sequel's centerpiece. Reflecting on the co-op content that did ship, the director said: "When you look at the campaign that we ran, I think that while there was a lot of excitement there," per GamesRadar+.

There's a significant caveat: another story-driven campaign would need a whole new game, per the report. That framing suggests smaller PvE events remain plausible within Overwatch 2, while a full narrative experience would be a separate project entirely — if Blizzard ever greenlights one.
