Game director Aaron Keller states that he would never discount the potential return of PvE content within the universe of Overwatch. Initially, developer Blizzard Entertainment intended to launch Overwatch 2 featuring an in-depth co-op campaign that allowed players to upgrade heroes and advance the overarching narrative.

Jeff Kaplan revealed that he has completely erased Overwatch from his life following his departure from Blizzard. The prominent developer stated that he actively avoids any news or information regarding the hero shooter he once led. He explained that leaving this era behind was made easier because he had already experienced a similar transition with World of Warcraft.

Kaplan previously stepped down as director of World of Warcraft back in 2009 to oversee Project Titan. That aborted MMORPG ultimately transformed into the massively popular hero shooter developed by the studio based in Anaheim. The creator ultimately decided to completely detach himself from his past creations without looking back at his former career.
