Overwatch 2's dev team is working hard to make sure the game is a worthy successor and a true sequel

Many were hoping that Overwatch 2 would be out by now, but that's not the case. While we still don't know how long we'll be waiting for the sequel, it's clear that progress is being made. Blizzard wants to ensure that this sequel is everything it can be, so they're not rushing the development process. This sentiment was echoed by game director Jeff Kaplan.

We've been talking about the game, about this universe, I know you all love it so much... right now, we can sit down and have a night of Overwatch 2 and have it be a really fun experience, and I think we need some more time till we can say it's perfectly polished in the way that we want it.

We've made such incredible strides since we first announced this and showed it to the community at BlizzCon 2019. We want to create something that really moves people, that really touches people... We want it to become part of your life and for you to experience it... Our goal is for Overwatch 2 to be the worthy successor to the first game, to be the next evolution, to be a true sequel.
