Overwatch is finally making its way to mobile<\/h2>\n

Bloomberg journalist, Jason Schreier confirmed the development of Overwatch Mobile and Overwatch 2 updates in his latest book,\u00a0Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future Of Blizzard Entertainment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Schreier interviewed over 300 employees, current and former about Blizzard Entertainment\u2019s rise and abrupt fall. He uncovered everything from the\u00a0mass layoffs<\/strong>\u00a0to the\u00a0various lawsuits<\/strong>\u00a0against\u00a0NetEase Games<\/strong>\u00a0that the company was facing. The book also discloses various plans for Overwatch that were abandoned, such as a\u00a0Netflix adaptation<\/strong>\u00a0that was cancelled due to Blizzard suing Netflix.<\/p>\n

Putting aside all the bad news, Schreier finally confirmed that Blizzard Entertainment is working on a mobile version of Overwatch, ending years of speculations among fans. According to him, Overwatch\u2019s General Manager\u00a0Walter Kong<\/strong>\u00a0is leading this project.<\/p>\n

While Schreier\u2019s book doesn\u2019t specify when Overwatch Mobile will be released, it confirms that it is in active development. It is also unclear whether the mobile project will be a port of Overwatch 2, a new sequel, or a completely new experience.<\/p>\n

Back in 2022, Blizzard\u2019s\u00a0job postings<\/strong>\u00a0indicated that a potential Overwatch Mobile might be in development, but that didn\u2019t go anywhere. As reports popped up about Microsoft and Activision\u00a0teaming up to develop \u2018AA\u2019 games<\/strong>\u00a0based on existing IP within Blizzard earlier this year, there were again discussions of Overwatch mobile.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Currently, the closest to the\u00a0Overwatch-like experience<\/strong>\u00a0we have on mobile is\u00a0T3 Arena<\/strong>. It\u2019s very uncertain whether Overwatch Mobile will achieve the same success as\u00a0Call of Duty Mobile<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Warzone Mobile<\/strong>, or does not bear fruit like\u00a0Apex Legends Mobile<\/strong>. Fans are\u00a0calling\u00a0for an RPG version of the game to explore and justify the franchise\u2019s rich lore. Only time will tell.<\/p>\n
