According to information provided to Eurogamer , Blizzard’s Jon Spector gave details of the inevitable shutdown of Overwatch . According to Spector’s statement, the game is to be put out about a day before the premiere of the two . Although we will not be able to participate in the game during this (albeit short) time, this process will be necessary in order to successfully launch the servers for the sequel. This is the statement:
About the day before Overwatch 2’s release , Overwatch 1 ‘s servers will be taken down . In practice, this means that October 2 will be the last day to play number one. Later, it’s time for a 27-hour break as we plan to get Overwatch 2 ready for action.

This information may seem disturbing to many Overwatch fans , but it is worth noting that the new part will be released in free-to-play mode. In addition, Blizzard will offer players to start downloading two during the aforementioned “technical break”. So if you want to save time downloading the game, you have a good opportunity.
