Is this game dead?

[貢啊丸]

I heard some news that they cancelled developing PvE content which is promising to players.
Now looks like they are dying, and try to revive the game by releasing it on Steam for free
What a supid move, i think even OW fans won't take it

It's essentially dead.

[hoot hoot]

The game isn't dying and it's ridiculous to suggest it is.

They canceled the PvE, but if you look at their upcoming roadmap for multiplayer content, it's pretty packed and there's a lot coming up.

Now if the game is worth playing is another question ...

You will only find games in Quick Play and competitive. The rest of the modes are dead and is not worth waiting in the queue.

[Hyden]

No, its alive and well. amazing game;

Its not "dead" per say, its more of a blizzard bait and switch. PvE content was scrapped, then some ♥♥♥♥ about having to pay to unlock it. Basically standard blizzard these days after Immoral and Diablo 4.

Thanks man, would like to try more recently.
But how about the skin drop by box, I heard it's too difficult to grind than before. Did they change it after release?

They haven't, it's still months of grinding for 1 skin (around 32 weeks of grinding for a legendary skin) or $20 for most skins.

they broke their promises about this game, this is just overwatch 1 but worse. I suggest you stay away from it, see it now on steam is like they're beggin for attention.

[Deadest42]

they shot themselves in the foot with a shotgun by cancelling the PVE campaign they promised so yes its dead

[DarkFenix]

It's dying. Anecdotal evidence from various game mode queues aside, it wouldn't be appearing on Steam unless that were the case, Actiblizz keep everything exclusive to their own store, releasing this on Steam shows their desperation.

[Sir Cats Meow]

It's coming to Steam out of desperation and nothing else.
You want a fun, F2P, Hero FPS game where you can earn heroes and cosmetics? Play Paladins.

It died in 2018 when they abandoned it to start working on the trash we have now. Which is overwatch 2

What does "dead" mean? Sure there's still some people who don't give a rats ass about getting a rake shoved up their ass by the most corporate exploitative company to ever grace the gaming scene, but most have left after it became extremely evident Blizzard is just a husk actively having its liquefied innards sucked out through a straw by Activision.

The canceled THE LITERAL REASON THE GAME EXISTS IN FIRST PLACE. And they did so in a really underhanded "oh and we canceled ur game btw, but we still strive to exceed all ur expectations [turd emoticon]". They have no budget left to work on this game.

The entire roadmap we see right now was already done half a year ago. They're 100% on their last legs.
