Overwatch 2players are begging the devs for more lore as fans feel the game’s story has been “abandoned” to focus more on PvP.

However, you may notice much of the season’s focus was on the PvP side of the game, which has players lamenting, as the game hasn’t gotten manyloreupdates in a while.
In a popular thread on the Overwatch subreddit, a player voiced their concern about the game’s lore in the aftermath of PvE’s cancellation.
“Juno’s release really brought this to a head for me,” they explained. “I want so badly to care about this character, but I can’t. I already know that the lore she launches with is all we’re going to get for years.”
They criticized the handling of Overwatch’s story, pointing out that the lack of development was leading to characters feeling “hollow”.
“I wish they would be as transparent about lore and PvE as they are about 6v6,” a player said. “Lore really gave me and many others something to look forward to, but now that it’s gone, there really is nothing to keep them coming back.”
