This is Overwatch’s “comeback,” says Blizzard, as Season 1’s player stats beats the game’s launch weekend’s

There was a world in which Marvel Rivals eclipsed Overwatch. NetEase’s comic-styled hero shooter came out of the gate sprinting, blowing past Blizzard’s seminal FPS game and cementing itself as the next new thing. But, for all the time I plowed into Marvel Rivals, it never had the same feel. While its destruction systems and vibrant art style are unique in themselves, it didn’t have the soul that Overwatch did despite its ties to a franchise so dear to my heart. I think we were all secretly praying that Blizzard would someday ‘fix’ Overwatch; while the PvE dream felt doomed from the get-go, the game’s nostalgia-tinged sparkle survived, albeit buried by seemingly endless pop culture crossovers. With Season 1 and the rebrand back to Overwatch proper, this is the shooter’s best era in years, and that’s got Blizzard excited.
