One user wrote, &ldquo;First of all: THANK YOU for bringing Classic.

But I already know I&#8217;ll miss this once those 3 short weeks are up,&rdquo; in a post titled, &ldquo;Addressing the elephant in the room: Please don&rsquo;t limit it to 3 weeks.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many players share this sentiment, reminiscing about Overwatch 1&rsquo;s gameplay and features, with some returning solely for this event, having avoided Overwatch 2&rsquo;s current state. Despite this excitement, others argue that keeping Classic mode long-term may diminish its charm and that a limited event preserves its appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/RSbmX9cUNjd2PraQrDBELUc8Tit6157sgRVK24mGjcY\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82NzMzNGU0MGYxYmM2LUJhbGFuY2luZyBUaGUgRXZlbnQgV2l0aCBGcmVxdWVudCBBdmFpbGFiaWx0aXkuanBn\" alt=\"Balancing The Classic Event With Frequent Availability\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">The developers are considering both sides of the argument, as the event will be limited to three weeks, but may return frequently depending on its popularity.

The developers have indicated that the Classic Event is intended as a short-term nostalgic experience, stating that they want it to be an occasional event rather than a permanent fixture.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rsp-embed-container\" contenteditable=\"false\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.5%;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0px; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; --darkreader-inline-border-top: 0px; --darkreader-inline-border-right: 0px; --darkreader-inline-border-bottom: 0px; --darkreader-inline-border-left: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kBj4SCL4PNo?feature=oembed\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-darkreader-inline-border-top=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-border-right=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-border-bottom=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-border-left=\"\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kBj4SCL4PNo?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/kBj4SCL4PNo\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the FAQ section of <a href=\"https:\/\/overwatch.blizzard.com\/en-us\/news\/24146047\/a-blast-to-the-past-begins-with-overwatch-classic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">their blog post<\/a>, Blizzard addresses the question, &ldquo;Will Overwatch: Classic ever return?
