Overwatch, Blizzard's first new IP in over seventeen years, is finally set to launch next month. And while the game's closed beta will soon come to a close, you can get an insider's look at the game's development in our video series below.
GameSpot's Danny O'Dwyer headed down to the developer's headquarters to talk with Overwatch's key development leads for our three-part Overwatch series. While the game has its roots in the canceled MMO Titan, Overwatch has grown into something entirely different. Part one deals with the death of Titan and the birth of Overwatch. Part two delves into Overwatch's roots in classic '90s shooters. And the final segment deals with the history and origins of the game's 21 heroes.
For the videos, we had conducted many more hours of interviews than we were actually able to use. If you want a behind-the-scenes deep dive, check out:
- The complete Chris Metzen interview (Blizzard's Senior VP of Story and Franchise Development)
- The complete Jeff Kaplan interview (Game Director and VP at Blizzard)
