Overwatch <\/em>fans were thrilled with the announcement of a sequel<\/a> at BlizzCon 2019. But they may not be as excited to know that Overwatch 2 <\/em>is the reason why the shooter\u2019s updates are going to dwindle, according to game director Jeff Kaplan. <\/p>
Kaplan told Kotaku<\/a> that Overwatch 2 <\/em>was \u201c100 percent the reason\u201d why the cycle of updates in the original game came to a slower pace. The development team had to juggle bringing new content to Overwatch <\/em>while simultaneously building its successor\u2014and, naturally, the sequel received the lion\u2019s share of the attention.<\/p>

Even in a momentary standstill, Overwatch <\/em>won\u2019t be deprived of content. Players will get the ability to choose what to do when queuing, including a specially-designed<\/a> deathmatch mode. Seasonal events will still take place and bring new cosmetics, which will also get transferred into Overwatch 2<\/em>. \u201cThere are still some cool updates coming, and we want to add new stuff,\u201d Kaplan said at BlizzCon.<\/p>
