“[Development] is continuing at a good pace,” Keller wrote.” We have an exceptional vision we’re executing on, the reaction from many of you to the updates we shared at BlizzConline thrilled us, and we have exciting reveals planned for this year and beyond as we ramp to launch. We’ll be sharing more frequent updates about Overwatch 2 progress and new features in the live game with you all very soon.”

At the time, Kaplan suggested there could be more updates within the next couple of months, which aligns with what Keller said. While Overwatch 2 won’t arrive this year, the promise of “exciting reveals” coming this year has me hopeful the game will be released in early 2022.
