Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.
I wonder how many loot boxes will be made and how many lives ruined….

If companies see titles like Overwatch and Fortnite and want to be MORE like that, then I'm just done with anything other than Indie Games and Singleplayer at this point.

Sounds more like SMITE than overwatch
Or Paragon even. That game was so fun back in the day before it got killed. If anyone can make something that fun again, it's probably Valve.
Speaking of Valve games, why did I ever stop playing Left 4 Dead? I need to play that again.

This game doesn’t look terrible going off screenshots, but I’ll wait until an actual announcement. I’m hoping this may lead into them making more games in the future though.
Ugh, as if we don't have enough of this kind of game already. SMITE 2 and Marvel Rivals are coming soon. Valve for fucks sake, look at how well Half Life: Alyx did. I seriously hope they're working on a future Half Life game or some new story driven style game at the very least. I'm calling it now, Deadlock is going to be another Artifact.
SMITE isn't a shooter, though. Overwatch 2 killed Overwatch and left an empty space. I don't see a problem if two games (or more) try to fill it. I hope they are fun.
That said, it shouldn't be Valve's only focus if fans are expecting different games from them.
I, for once am excited. I didn't buy Overwatch since I was deeply disappointed in Blizzard, after D3. Then the whole pandering to CCP and Blitzchung fiasco happened and that cemented my decision.
I didn't play Valor ant since I don't enjoy having a Chinese kernel level spyware on my PC.
So this may be something that can satisfy my itch.
