The May 20 Overwatch 2 event will be hosted by Matt “Mr. X” Morello and Mitch “Uber” Leslie. In addition to Keller, Blizzard’s Geoff Goodman (lead hero designer) and Dion Rogers (associate art director) will appear on the stream to discuss Overwatch 2 PvP and show off live gameplay for the first time.
The livestream is super-sized, as Blizzard said it will run for two hours. In addition to the developers from Blizzard, the broadcast will feature content-creators like Stylosa and Cuppcaake.
After the May 20 event, Blizzard’s developers who are working on Overwatch 2 will take part in a Reddit AMA on May 24 where they will discuss more about the Overwatch franchise.
Overwatch 2 is scheduled for release in 2022 at the soonest, which is also when Blizzard’s other high-profile game, Diablo IV, is slated to release.
