While Valorant and Apex Legends are some of the most popular hero shooters to play in 2022, Blizzard's offering has become a shell of its former self and its once massive popularity. Overwatch was massively popular both in the leadup to the game's open beta and release, as well as several years after with the Overwatch League. The game is still definitely popular to this day, though in comparison it's certainly not anywhere close to Overwatch at launch. However, beyond updates to Overwatch as it exists currently, Blizzard is also planning on releasing Overwatch 2, a pseudo-sequel and overhaul of the first Overwatch with new gameplay modes.
