Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter (www.eurogamer.net)

Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.

Ugh, as if we don't have enough of this kind of game already. SMITE 2 and Marvel Rivals are coming soon. Valve for fucks sake, look at how well Half Life: Alyx did. I seriously hope they're working on a future Half Life game or some new story driven style game at the very least. I'm calling it now, Deadlock is going to be another Artifact.

SMITE isn't a shooter, though. Overwatch 2 killed Overwatch and left an empty space. I don't see a problem if two games (or more) try to fill it. I hope they are fun.

That said, it shouldn't be Valve's only focus if fans are expecting different games from them.
