An expert Overwatch 2 fan has created UI concepts for a complete PvE feature, but sadly, it will never be released. It was originally planned for Overwatch 2, which is well-known for its variety of modes—such as the well-liked Quick Play and Competitive Play—to have a thorough PvE mode.

If players of Overwatch 2 want to take a break from competitive modes, the Arcade offers a selection of rotating modes as well as exclusive ones during seasonal and short-lived events. When the PvE mode was initially revealed at BlizzCon 2019, fans were ready for a revolutionary addition to Overwatch 2. Although there was initial enthusiasm for the proposal, it never happened, and last year Blizzard shocked players by announcing that Overwatch 2’s PvE feature would not be returning. As evidence of its potential, a gifted Overwatch 2 fan has started work on bringing the abandoned feature back to life.

The talented Reddit user roastedtuna has created eye-catching UI designs for a PvE feature in Overwatch 2. The shop on the initial screen offers Tracer skin choices in addition to weaponry that can be bought and equipped on Mei, Reinhardt, Tracer, and Zarya. The next screen shows Tracer interacting with the King’s Row map, with a list of goals situated in the right-hand corner. The character selection procedure is depicted on the third screen, which also includes information about the hero’s abilities and talents, as well as items to equip them with. The user then revealed the last screen, which included a list of missions with details on their goals and possible rewards.

Redditors praised the OP’s design and expressed their respect for it. Many users expressed disappointment over the PvE cancellation, which is regarded as one of the shooter’s most controversial moves ever. One particular comment mourned the wasted potential of the game’s lack of skill trees—just one of the many elements removed from Overwatch 2’s player-versus-player gameplay. The PvE mode for Overwatch 2 was much awaited by the fan base as it was supposed to be the first step in bringing Blizzard’s game closer to the spirit of the shelved multiplayer online game Project Titan. PvE’s cancellation, according to Executive Producer Jared Neuss, was the result of a change in strategy since the initial concept was seen as “not being realistic.”
