AndyB told the fans that the developing team of Overwatch 2 is well-aware of the fact that a large number of fans are hunting for information pertaining to the game. In the same breath, he added that the team is not ready to make any announcement at the moment.

Replying to this, AndyB stated that the team is hopeful about the fact that when the next announcement, many fans who are unsure of how things are progressing and have been upset with some of the recent developments will be happy.
Some fans have been satisfied with the knowledge of the fact that the developing team is aware of their concerns and not taking their opinions lightly. They also feel that the team will now feel the pressure to make preparations for the next big announcement.
Instead of getting details on various tournaments, fans seem to be more interested in getting relevant information about the game. Many fans are of the opinion that the Overwatch League’s new season, which is scheduled to kickstart on May 5, should be postponed and given a formal release only after Overwatch 2 has been launched. This, they believe, will ensure that a large number of changes are not made at one go.
