Exposed: The Horizon "Concord" Clone & Overwatch's Desperate Pivot

We are breaking down two massive industry shifts that prove Triple-A gaming is having an identity crisis. First, we look at Sony's Horizon Hunters Gathering. The gameplay loop is chasing "Monster Hunter" money five years too late. The bigger issue? The "NPC Problem." The characters collectively look like an oddball group of support characters without a main hero. It’s the "Concord" mistake all over again, a roster of "freaks" with no one to lead the box art. Then, the Overwatch Rebrand. Blizzard is hitting the panic button, dropping the "2" and effectively soft-rebooting the game. We analyze the desperation behind releasing 5 heroes at once and what this means for the future of the franchise.
