Overwatch 2 is charging you for the PvE it didn't cancel (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

At this point it seems that Blizzard can't decide what it wants to do with Overwatch. It seems kind of baffling how they've handled what is basically a live service cash cow.

So wait did they or did they not cancel the PvE, because the Xbox showcase made it seem like there was more PvE but it smelled of desperation.

I think Blizz is still doing PvE in a similar vein as OW1's PvE events but utilizing some of what they worked on, but there won't be a full-fledged story mode for PvE anymore.

PvE wasn't canceled, what was cancelled was unique talent trees for each hero and whatever "hero missions" was. What we're getting is (what appears to be) episodic story content with scripted events and cinematics.

It's really not clear what exactly they canceled, since they never announced much to begin with. I think they just scrapped the talent trees?
