In an exclusive interview, Walter Kong, Overwatch's General Manager and Head of Live Games and Mobile Development at Blizzard, hinted at the possibility of an animated series based on the popular hero shooter. Despite past failed attempts to bring animated shows based on their games to life, Kong admitted that there is a "huge demand" for such content in the Overwatch universe. With Overwatch celebrating its 10th anniversary and over 4.4 billion matches played so far, the hunger for more storytelling remains strong. Kong admitted that Blizzard bit off more than they could chew with narrative ambitions back in 2016, but they're now focusing on delivering live game content and prioritizing the core PvP experience. However, a potential collaboration between Blizzard and Epic Games, bringing Overwatch heroes into Fortnite, shows that Kong has long-held desires for Overwatch to spread its wings beyond the PvP experience.
