Overwatch 2 is coming only around four or so years from the original. While this seems odd and unique for Blizzard, Overwatch 2 is doing something more sequels should learn from.

The climb continues as a new Hero rises and the fight for a better future pushes Overwatch higher than ever.
In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.
The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.
As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.
Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.
Welcome to a new era. Follow the first fully-connected narrative arc in Overwatch history, play five new Heroes in Season 1, and enjoy expansive gameplay updates when Vendetta’s reign begins on Feb. 10.
Like what? Creating new characters and maps for the same exact game and then charging $60 for it instead of just releasing a proper expansion for the existing game?
Sure......
It's the same game.
The only reason they are letting players transfer over cosmetics is because the game isn't changing at all. Same art style and almost identical character models. It just looks like a $30 expansion that loads of games get (Warframe, Paladins, Fortnite, etc) that they will charge $60 for, nothing groundbreaking imo
LOL Literally could have been done in a patch.
