Overwatch 2’s evolving live service model has faced highs and lows in its seasonal content releases. Season 6 is regarded as the best, but to prevent future content droughts like Season 5, Blizzard should leverage the newly added PvE missions. The predictable release cycle, alternating between new heroes and maps, has drawn criticism, with Hero-less Seasons receiving the most complaints.
The PvE mode can address this by offering additional content during these off Seasons. While Blizzard has indicated a wait until 2024 for more story missions, addressing feedback from Invasion missions is crucial. The proposal is to release story missions during Hero-less Seasons, enhancing consistency and player engagement. This strategy could help Overwatch 2 avoid weak Seasons, maintaining a steady flow of content and providing a balance between PvP and PvE experiences.
