Blizzard Watch Podcast Uncut: Overwatch 2's season 15 parties like it's 2019
Added 2025-02-21 02:00:43 +0000 UTCThe news that Marvel Rivals was seeing layoffs despite being a runaway success by almost any metric was a hot topic for the crew during the preshow. Games that released somewhat less successfully, and then were allowed to blossom with time, like Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky, made their way into the discussion, as well as games that failed to meet projections which were ludicrous goals even on paper. The preshow ends at 23:25
Overwatch 2 was the lead game in the show proper. The development team released a big showcase just ahead of season 15's release, which also contained a lot of content teasers like upcoming hero Freja for season 16 and beyond. Loot boxes? 6v6 in competitive? What is this, 2019? Not to be left out, the Hearthstone team also released a ton of info for their next expansion, Journey into the Emerald Dream. It involves splitting the classes into a side for the Dream and a side for the corrupted Emerald Nightmare, and Matt had a little quibble about including Warriors with the likes of Warlocks and Death Knights.
Plus, a little bird (Jason Schreier) told us there won't be a new Diablo 4 expansion til 2026, so we discussed how we feel about that (and weirdly... not bad?).
