It’s official: Junker Queen debuts in Overwatch 2
Blizzard denies
The known side kotaku asked the developer studio and got the following answer:
“This survey is solely for the purpose of better understanding player preferences for different types of Overwatch 2 cosmetics […] The prices shown in the survey were randomly selected per user and are not indicative of the final prices. We plan to release details on our Shop and Battle Pass system closer to our October 4th release.”
So it’s only part of the survey and other players seem to get other prices displayed. Still busy blizzard intensively with it and at least explores which options the monetization exist. If the above prices weren’t at least possible, the studio certainly wouldn’t be asking for them. Should be the aim of the survey, an opinion of playership at the stated prices, this falls pretty clear out.
What do you think about that? Do you think the price is excessive or okay? Let us know in the comments!
