Some, like Matthew ‘super’ DeLisi, told Luka to direct message him on the app, while the Dallas Fuel invited the local Mavericks player to join the team.

One Blizzard employee, Mike Ybarra, kept up the cryptic responses from Blizzard, reaffirming that they will be as tight-lipped on the details of Overwatch 2 as possible.

But, there have been some indications that the future of OW2 may not be as unknown as some make it out to be.

According to a report from Dexerto’s Richard Lewis, getting the game out quickly is at the top of Activision Blizzard’s radar, with the goal being to get the game shipped “before the Summer of 2022.”
