\nBlizzard has announced a series of double XP weekends to “make up for any lost time” following Overwatch 2’s various launch issues.\n<\/p>\n

\n“Let’s try that again,” Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra wrote on Twitter<\/a> last night, sharing a fresh blog post<\/a> from the developer which apologises – yet again<\/a> – for the game’s troubled arrival and offers a few bits and pieces to cheer fans up.\n<\/p>\n

\nOverwatch 2 players can look forward to “several Double Match XP weekends” – dates for which will be announced soon. Anyone who logs in this season from 25th October onwards will also get a Cursed Captain Reaper Legendary skin and a Health Pack Weapon Charm, which is nice I guess.\n<\/p>\n
