Blizzard denies rumor that Overwatch League will take year-long hiatus after current season

In the event you’re nonetheless a giant fan of Overwatch and the aggressive Overwatch League, we could have some unhealthy information for you. A rumor being reported now by GGRecon is that sources inside the league have said the fifth season is not going to be beginning in its regular time, delaying into 2022 till the discharge of Overwatch 2. That might give a obscure launch window for the title and likewise make a specific amount of sense, nevertheless it wouldn’t be the shot within the arm that the sport’s ailing aggressive scene is in search of and would seemingly serve to decrease curiosity.

League vice chairman Jon Spector took to Twitter to assert that this rumor is inaccurate and there are no current plans for a year-long hiatus, though he does observe that dates for 2022 haven’t been communicated presently. It’s completely doable that it is a spurious rumor and the League video games will proceed as regular, nevertheless it’s hardly the excellent news that any fan of the sport is in search of. Then once more, “excellent news” and “Blizzard” are phrases that rarely seem to occur in the same sentence lately.

It is actually not sensible to reply to each rumor about our future plans, however on this case this story is inaccurate. We’ve not set nor communicated dates about our 2022 season but however don’t plan to take a ‘year-long hiatus’ in any state of affairs we’re contemplating at present. https://t.co/hDJwN2szb5
