The era of the original Overwatch has come to an end because Blizzard has announced that the co-op game will officially be disconnected from the servers on Sunday, October 2.

Instead, the Overwatch 2 servers will be turned on, which will start on October 4. Thus, the second part will be the only game in this series that will remain afloat.

October 2 will indeed be the afternoon when you can go and play Overwatch, as confirmed by the commercial director of the game John Spector. After that, the planned 27-hour downtime will begin, during which the servers of the second part will be prepared for launch.

Players will be given the opportunity to pre-load Overwatch 2 before launch, and for fans of the first part, the company promises to release a manual where it will be told what to do to save their progress.
