Aaron Keller hears you all and agrees: Overwatch 2 could definitely use more story content right about now, stating that for it to be “firing on all cylinders” it needs to once again make story content a pillar of the game.
Keller, who serves as Overwatch 2’s director, was recently interviewed by content creator Jay3 about many aspects of the live game, including the status of a map editor/creator, a looking-for-group function, and the process of creating just one of the game’s many heroes. The latter question eventually led to discussion about the state of narrative content in Overwatch 2 and Keller was refreshingly frank about the matter.
When probed about a potential TV series, Keller responded by saying that the team “would love to do that” before springboarding off of the question to address narrative-starved fans. Keller continued, saying that the team sees a lot of sentiment online that “Overwatch has dropped the ball when it comes to story and lore.”
