Overwatch 2 development isn t as far along as fans would hope, according to new reports that have surfaced online.
Blizzard has been pretty upfront about the state of Overwatch 2, admitting that the game is still a long way off from being released.
Plus, Kyōgisha Hanzo Skin up for grabs in new event. Updated on 13 January 2021
Overwatch s new free-for-all deathmatch map Kanezaka, whose action unfurls on the streets of Tokyo beneath the mist-shrouded heft of Shimada Castle, is now live.
Kanezaka blends traditionally styled alleyways with Tokyo s more contemporary city sprawl, all brought to life through some wonderfully rich environmental detail, ranging from accessible eateries and arcades to a pottery workshop, and even a particularly cosy looking cat café.
Back in December s Kanezaka-focussed developer update, Blizzard s Jeff Kaplan explained the map is packed with easter eggs, some teasing future Overwatch lore and others simply fun stuff relating to the development team. Kaplan noted, for instance, the aforementioned cat café includes portraits of cats belonging to team members.

Here you’ll discover how to get the new Hanzo skin as well as the unique sprays that can be attained.
