An Overwatch 2 producer has blamed A🅠ctivision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick for the g𒊎ame's ongoing delays.
In the two tweets below, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch 2 producer Tracy Kennedy outlined how CEO Kotick would "shove" development projects for Overwatch 1 on the Overwatch 2 team, requiring deve🥀lopers to work overtime. Kennedy also says that some of those projects would eventually be cancelled, leading to the loss of "months" of development time for the long-awaited sequel. They also claim that "almost enti▨re teams are turning over and citing [Kotick] as the reason."
Oh wait that's right you hide behind scapegoats because you're a coward, my mistake. The entire world will remember you to be a greedy joke, and there's nothing you can do to change that. We outlasted you and we won. Byeee 👋
Kennedy's comments come in light of Kotick blaming the delays of Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 for the declining stock of Activision Blizzard. In a new interview with following 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft announcing the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Kotick dodged a question about sexual harassment lawsuits lodged again🐻st the developer declining stock prices, instead focusing on the delays of Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 as primary reasons.
The new comments from Kennedy allege that Kotick is a significant reason for Overwatch 2's prolonged development process, however. The sequel to the hero shooter was first announced back in late 2019, but has since been delayed multiple times, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:pushed out of launching in 2021, and the subsequently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:delayed out of releasing in 2022. Now, a firm release date for Overwatch 2 appears to be𒅌 out of the question, and we're simply awaiting further updates from Activision Blizzard.
As for Diablo 4, it's had a similarly lengthy development process since first being unveiled. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Revealed alongside Overwatch ෴2 at BlizzCon 201🎉9, the loot-based action game has only popped up a handful of times since its reveal, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:showing off a slate of new ga🌳meplay details. Just like Overwatch 2 though, it's also suffered from multiple delays, with its creative direc🍒tor even departing the project back in 2021.
