Overwatch 2 Devs Confirm Delayed Release of Teased Cosmetics, Players Wait in Anticipation.
Overwatch 2 has been highly anticipated by players since its announcement in 2019. The game promised a lot, including new PvE story modes, a new game mode called Push, and a host of new cosmetic types. Since the game’s release in 2022, players have been disappointed with many missing features including the lack of a PvE mode. There are new cosmetic types that were teased in old trailers that never made it to the game, leaving players wondering if they will ever be released.
The missing cosmetic types were banners and a thumbs up and thumbs down emote, which were teased in old footage. Fans have been eagerly awaiting their arrival, but executive producer Jared Neuss has confirmed that they are currently “on hold.” However, he did offer a glimmer of hope, saying that they may make an appearance in the game at some point in the future. Although the exact date is unknown, players can only hope that they won’t have to wait too long.
While fans were disappointed to hear that the teased cosmetic types were “on hold,” they also questioned other missing cosmetic functions that never made it into the game. One of the most asked for features is weapon inspection animations, which was also teased in old trailers. Neuss has already acknowledged that the development team did not place a high priority on weapon inspections during Season 3.He did mention that it may come to the game no earlier than Season 6. Some fans have speculated that weapon inspections will be released at the same time as the banners and new emotes.
Since the release of Overwatch 2, players have criticized the game’s missing features, with the PvE mode receiving the most attention. Players are dissatisfied and disappointed since the game made a lot of promises but the makers have been slow to deliver. Since the game’s launch, though, there have been a few encouraging developments. Push mode has been long in rotation, and there have been reworks to roles and heroes. In addition, there are some brand-new cosmetics in the shape of charms, although they fall short of what was promised to gamers.
Dearest @OhReallyJared
I’m so sorry for ating you but I must know. In old promo for Overwatch 2 we saw these banners and thumbs up/down emotes. Have these been scraped? Or have these been delayed to focus on important things? Like skins with toes for each hero.Cordially, jtck pic.twitter.com/cffU1izqmt

It is unclear when the missing features will be released, including the teased cosmetic types and the missing PvE mode. Players can only hope that the developers will keep their word and make these features available as soon as possible.
