Overwatch is still being sold in gaming stores in spite of the fact that the game no longer exists. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.
On the Overwatch subreddit, Reddit user raistwalls1 posted a photo of a PlayStation 4 copy of the original game available for purchase for $35. If it was 2017, that'd doubtless be a bargain - but it's 2022, and the death knell for Overwatch is only just beginning to fade from our eardrums.
Check out the trailer for Overwatch 2 below! It's just like Overwatch, but shinier.
Overwatch 2 should have rushed onto the hero shooter scene enveloped in applause. This, this is what we've been waiting for. Three years to give us... the same game with new skins and three new heroes. One of which you'll have to sink about 50 hours into the game if you don't opt for the battle pass.
Naturally, the sight of Overwatch on the shelves has led to a wave of embittered nostalgia for the original game. "Overwatch 2 is literally an update for OW1," explained one. "If you buy that, it'll be updated to OW2 when you put it in. I know this [because] my friend updated OW1 to see what would happen and it turned into OW2." At least it's not a total waste of $35, and if you wanted the legacy skins for Reaper, Soldier 76 and more, it might even work out cheaper to buy this than spend currency in the in-game shop. What a topsy-turvy world we live in.
