Well anyway, yesterday Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan took to Facebook to answer questions from players and revealed that Overwatch’s anticipated Competitive Play mode would be returning in a big update hopefully near the end of June.
“Competitive mode is the current focus for the Overwatch team,” Kaplan says around 9:20 minutes into the video.
“The feedback we were seeing was a little bit critical of some of the decisions we made,” Kaplan explains.
“It’s the most important thing to add for us to add to the game.” Overwatch’s Competitive Play was yanked before the open beta due to negative feedback from players, making the folks at Blizzard rethink the structure for competitive Overwatch.
