Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future (www.dexerto.com)

Lol. After all these years they're thinking of rolling back the 5v5 changes. To quote someone from Reddit:

PVE was dropped, heroes are free again, and now 6v6 is back. Blizzard spent the last couple of years turning overwatch 2 back into Overwatch 1.

Edit: See also the developer's blog post about this, which goes into great detail explaining their decisions over the year and how we got here. Really worth a read if you are (or were) an OW player.

Did OW1 not have PvE when it launched? I remember that being my favorite part of the first game.

Iirc it had occasional pve events but the point of ow2 according to them was to have a permanent pve mode which iirc never happened but I haven't played in a while so take my words with salt.

That sounds right. If PvE wasn't permanent, it was a pretty common event type.

There were holiday events, like halloween (junkenstein) and an anniversary event covering the robot invasion thing from lore. But I don't recall there being any permanent events, especially at launch.
