Just because Overwatch will be a team-based shooter doesn’t mean that it lacks a story. On the contrary, Blizzard said that the game will boast a rich narrative that will illuminate the histories and personalities of each characters.
At BlizzCon this past weekend, the developers on the Overwatch panel confirmed that some of the game’s heroes will be gay, although they aren’t saying which ones yet. The devs did say that they will be revealing more about all of the characters and world through comic books, animated shorts, and additional cinematics. There were even hints about a possible map called “Blizzneyland,” although whether or not the studio is truly serious about this remains to be seen.
Overwatch will be released in spring 2016. You can watch the full BlizzCon panel after the jump!
