"Overwatch 2 is available in Early Access ..." Ahuh, suuuure. So, when's the PvE mode out that is part of the actual launch?
You mean the Invasion story missions that already released with season six? They didn't cut the PvE story mode out of the game, just the RPG skill tree systems, which yeah would've been nice... but meh, we still got the PvE (albeit only three missions so far with more coming next year) and the hero mastery missions too.
Yes, so the stuff people wanted. If it's out, it's no longer Early Access. It's just the game. If this is in early access when is the main full release?
