This pressure affects all the teams operating in the company as well as the games. Recently, Blizzard launched a new Deathmatch map for Overwatch on PTR servers, which received no official statement from developers due to the ongoing lawsuit against Activision-Blizzard.

Today, the game received another update that brings some balancing changes to a number of heroes including Doom Fist, Genji, Soldier 76, Roadhog, Moira, and Wrecking Ball.

Below, you can have a detailed look at the changes applied by the development team for each hero.

The development team at Blizzard not only works on new content for Overwatch but also has its primary focus on completing Overwatch 2, which doesn't seem to have a stable development situation after Jeff Kaplan left the studio.

Overwatch 2 was first supposed to be available next year, but it seems the game won't be ready until 2023 with the current situation.
