In 2026, <\/span>Overwatch <\/span><\/i>stands in a graveyard of its competitors. Blizzard\u2019s hero shooter has now hit the ten-year mark, with bigger peaks and valleys than most games of its style are ever allowed to have. Somehow, despite recurring claims that the game had fallen from grace and was finally \u201cdead,\u201d <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i> is still around, and is in <\/span>arguably the best state it\u2019s been<\/span><\/a> since it launched in 2016. Meanwhile, its early success inspired many <\/span>copycats<\/span><\/a> that <\/span>never got off the ground<\/span><\/a> and have since been lost, their servers taken offline and the studios that made them shuttered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overwatch <\/span><\/i>has gotten back on its feet after stumbles that would have leveled other studios and live-service games, but in a panel interview with <\/span>Kotaku <\/span><\/i>and other outlets, director Aaron Keller said that Blizzard\u2019s willingness to continue supporting the game despite multiple setbacks has helped it weather the storm of live-service shut downs and internal strife.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBlizzard\u2019s always been very supportive of us, even when we\u2019re going through rough patches,\u201d Keller says. \u201cThe question is like, what can we do to help <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i> be more successful, and then the team has always been able to, to activate, in any direction that they\u2019re pointed in like a world-class capability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a9 Blizzard Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There have been several of those \u201crough patches,\u201d and anyone who\u2019s been playing the game for most of its 10 years will remember each of them vividly. There was the content drought in the lead-up to <\/span>Overwatch 2<\/span><\/i>\u2019s launch that left the game with no new heroes for over two years, with skins and recycled seasonal events sustaining the live game in the interim; the official launch of <\/span>Overwatch 2 <\/span><\/i>coming without the headlining campaign Blizzard had promised when it announced the game; the eventual public cancelation of several of the PvE modes that were meant to accompany the new story; and then the much quieter cancellation of the story mode. As we <\/span>previously reported<\/span><\/a>, those who worked on <\/span>Overwatch 2<\/span><\/i>\u2019s planned campaign say it was subject to development troubles, and when its first chapter finally launched a year into the game\u2019s lifetime, its underwhelming sales led to Blizzard scrapping the project entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[The story mode] was hard to land and we had struggles with it,\u201d Walter Kong, head of development for Blizzard\u2019s live games and mobile division, says. \u201cWe wanted to polish up chapter one and release it to our players to get a signal of whether this content would be resonant or not, and we got a really strong signal back that the answer was, \u2018not so much.\u2019 I think it was such a harsh signal that it had a very significant effect on the morale of our team, and even on us as leaders.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Keller points to 2021 as one of the most challenging points he faced in <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i>\u2019s 10 years when he was promoted to game director following the <\/span>departure of original director Jeff Kaplan<\/span><\/a>. This was immediately followed by the 2021 lawsuit against Activision Blizzard alleging that the company had been home to <\/span>multiple cases of sexual harassment and discrimination<\/span><\/a>, which Keller calls a \u201ccultural reckoning\u201d for the company, leading to more turnover. As this was happening, Keller says that <\/span>Overwatch 2<\/span><\/i>\u2019s story mode \u201cjust wasn\u2019t coming together,\u201d leading to Blizzard ultimately splitting the release of the sequel\u2019s PvE mode and its PvP modes in order to finally release something it could support in 2022 instead of continuing to subject players to the content drought that plagued the game in the lead-up to the sequel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of people that were still playing <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i>, and they were playing a game that really wasn\u2019t getting a whole lot of support,\u201d Keller says. \u201cSo the new strategy for us became, \u2018How do we get support back to that game and to those players as quickly as we could?\u2019 And as we started working on that, it was a big pivot for the team, but as we started progressing on it, I think things really started to coalesce as people saw not just the focus that we could put into a release that was coming up into a milestone, but what it would actually mean for our players when we were finally able to launch <\/span>Overwatch 2<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Keller says the continued rough patches led to a lot of \u201canxiety and sleepless nights\u201d for him, and that the muted response to the initial PvE missions, along with the subsequent layoffs that hit the team <\/span>after Activision Blizzard was acquired by Xbox<\/span><\/a>, required a lot of \u201csoul searching\u201d to find what the team believed players were actually looking for in <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i>, resulting in resources being reallocated to the competitive game. Kong admits, however, that there was a point at which the waves of negative sentiment from players that hit <\/span>Overwatch 2<\/span><\/i> as it failed to deliver most of what Blizzard had promised put its future in question.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, it is an experience of ups and downs,\u201d he says. \u201dObviously, it feels great to launch a game and have the world just be gushing about how much fun they\u2019re having. And then it also is really, really tough to be reading a ton of <\/span>negative reviews on Steam<\/span><\/a> just questioning whether we should be doing this at all. Is this game worth pushing?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Keller says that the core of <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i> began with inspiration from games like <\/span>Team Fortress 2 <\/span><\/i>(the \u201coriginal\u201d hero shooter) and <\/span>League of Legends<\/span><\/i> with its giant roster of characters, as well as residual influence from the canceled <\/span>Titan<\/span><\/i> project that would eventually become <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i>, but Kong admits that <\/span>Marvel Rivals<\/span><\/i><\/a> has served as one of the most impactful games on <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i>\u2019s trajectory since its launch in 2024. NetEase\u2019s competitor made the team more open to <\/span>nudging the game in new directions<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0 such as implementing in-match skill trees with Perks and a build-based mode in Stadium, after years of maintaining a more conservative approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\u00a9 Marvel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI thought the significance of <\/span>Marvel Rivals<\/span><\/i>\u2019 launch to us was having a direct competitor in our space,\u201d Kong says. \u201cAnd also being able to judge a greater scope of things that they were doing, that we had thought about doing, but perhaps were a bit [too] conservative to try. I think when you have an audience of players that seem to be resonant with some of the things that you\u2019re doing, it may be a bit difficult to stretch and take more risk, but I think when <\/span>Marvel Rivals<\/span><\/i> launched, it had a pretty meaningful impact on our game. It had a dual impact. One was it scared us a bit, and on the other hand, I think it gave us license to go for it, to be less risk-averse because we felt that if we stayed conservative, then we were definitely going to feel some of the competitive pressure, and I think it was very energizing to see the team react in the way that it did, to just go after it, to take bold actions, and I think that is what led to the execution that we brought to market with both Perks and Stadium.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ironically enough, <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i> has spent close to half of its 10 years in a state of either weird limbo while waiting for a sequel, or circling the drain as a sequel that delivered almost none of the things it promised. Now, Blizzard has dropped the <\/span>2<\/span><\/i> from the title and completely reconfigured how it rolls out story in the game with annual \u201cexpansion\u201d moments at the beginning of each year, and is releasing 10 heroes across 2026. Keller says that Blizzard has spent years trying to figure out how to support <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i> as a live game, and without all those failures the team might not have figured it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we really understood what it meant to fully support a live-service shooter,\u201d Keller says. \u201cThe demands that players have for the amount of content that you\u2019re putting out, and just for the desire to have the game evolve, we weren\u2019t really there yet, and to be honest, I don\u2019t think we really understood that until the last few years after <\/span>Overwatch 2<\/span><\/i> shipped.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\u00a9 Blizzard Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sad truth of the matter is that a live-service game making it 10 years is an anomaly in this day and age, and Keller says Blizzard\u2019s willingness to support its decade of growing pains is what helped it finally morph into something that is both sustainable for Blizzard and also holding players\u2019 attention, even if it\u2019s not the biggest game in the world anymore. Blizzard has decades of infrastructure and wells of money that has let <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i> fail more times than most games ever get a chance to, and somehow find itself in a better place than it\u2019s ever been. The dark cloud of broken promises may hang over it in the eyes of those who bounced off, but the fact that <\/span>Overwatch<\/span><\/i> is still alive at year 10 with a more defined plan than it\u2019s ever had, and that it could maybe win those lapsed players back, is something a lot of live-service games can\u2019t claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
