A Reddit user said that with mobile phones becoming so powerful to run games like Resident Evil 7, the day OW2 mobile arrives is not far.

"Hey it runs on Switch.. kind of. We’ve seen phones can now play RE7. I think phones have come pretty far in terms of gaming."

But on the other hand, some fans had other theories related to what the upcoming major feature could be. Reddit user u/AdmiralZheng thinks Blizzard will be launching 6v6 mode soon, and the hiring is for that.

However, this seems highly unlikely as industry insider Jason Schreier wrote in the past that the majority of the team behind Overwatch’s PvE was laid off back in January 2024 because of its poor performance. But according to him, the OW2 mobile version might be true.

Although Blizzard hasn't officially confirmed the existence of OW2 Mobile, industry insider Jason Schreier believes that the mobile version of the FPS title is real. This was revealed by him in his latest book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall and Future of Blizzard Entertainment.
