Hero Missions (or Hero Mode), on the other hand, encompassed an in-development game mode that allowed players to upgrade individual heroes through talent trees, providing a deeply replayable version of PvE in Overwatch 2. We’ll be sharing more details there in the coming weeks. The work done here is amazing, leaps and bounds above what we’ve built for PvE previously in our game, and I can't wait for our players to get their hands on them. We will begin to release them in Season 6. These missions take place on huge maps with new enemies and new cinematics. Story Missions tell a linear narrative about the heroes of Overwatch reuniting and battling the new Null Sector threat, pushing the story of Overwatch forward for the first time since our original game released. Story Missions focus on fast-paced, co-op gameplay, as well as story, cinematics, and cutscenes that expand the world of Overwatch. When we announced Overwatch 2 in 2019, the idea for the game was centered around the PvP game we released last October, and on the PvE side, Story Missions and Hero Missions.
We're really excited for everything we’ll be launching soon, but much of the discussion this week has been about how we’re cancelling PvE outright, which isn’t accurate, so I want to take some time to discuss some of that with you here. A few days ago, we talked about our change in approach to PvE in Overwatch 2 and released a high-level roadmap for the year.
It's been an emotional week in the world of Overwatch. The result was a difficult choice that disappointed both players and developers, considering the years of work and emotional investment involved. Game Director Aaron Keller now confirmed Story Missions are still on the table for Season 6, but with Hero Missions, the team faced various challenges and lost focus along the way. The ambitious mode first unveiled at BlizzCon 2019 involved upgrading Heroes through talents. On May 16, Blizzard announced they're canceling Hero Missions for Overwatch 2. Overwatch Game Director Aaron Keller talked about canceled Hero Missions and the future of the game.
