Aaron Keller, the lead developer of Overwatch 2 at Blizzard, admits that the arrival of Marvel Rivals has brought pressure to the studio, which feels the need to further improve its game. “There is pressure on the Overwatch team, much of it internal. It poses the question ‘how do we make the best game possible?’ We have been feeling this for a long time,” Keller told GamesRadar, as reported by VGC.
Blizzard Wants to Keep Overwatch 2 Fresh
Keller says that Blizzard aims to inject freshness into Overwatch 2, not only to diversify the experience but also to make it deeper. Some of this was already in the works at the studio, but the arrival of Marvel Rivals forces Blizzard to take risks. He mentions that the upcoming seasons will demonstrate Blizzard’s efforts to deepen the Overwatch 2 experience and show that they are not stagnant, but rather trying to improve the game.
