Seeing the likes of Naruto and Goku in Overwatch might not be as outlandish as it sounds, as Blizzard execs recently expressed interest in hosting Overwatch 2 collaborations in a style similar to what we see in other battle royale games, namely Fortnite.<\/p>\n

Overwatch vice president John Spector made the comments in an exclusive interview with Game Informer\u2019s Alex Van Aken, where he discussed alternate ideas the team is considering to help bring in revenue. In-game ads, such as what Meta and a handful of other companies experimented with earlier in 2022, came up as a possible option, as did the prospect of charging money for mythic skins. However, Spector said he wanted to try something that let the team and other players explore their interests.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen some really fun examples out there of games working with other brands or other games,\u201d Spector told Game Informer. \u201cI\u2019m a big anime nerd myself. I think it\u2019s super cool when I see Naruto appear in Fortnite. I don\u2019t even play Fortnite, but that\u2019s awesome. And as we look at the Overwatch 2 space, those are things that we\u2019re interested in exploring. If and when we do that, one of our key values is to do it in a way that feels like a great fit for the Overwatch franchise.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How that might work in Overwatch 2 didn\u2019t come up, though it seems likely Blizzard would have to adopt a different kind of model. Where Fortnite has no established playable characters and opts for themed skins instead, such as Dragon Ball Z skins, Blizzard built Overwatch around its heroes, their backgrounds, and their unique playstyles.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Blizzard could simply opt to add new heroes, similar to Genshin Impact\u2019s one-off crossover with Horizon Zero Dawn, the depth and attention to detail that goes into each hero seems like it might be more effort than it\u2019s worth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever the case, expect to see some kind of outside influences in the battle pass once the\u00a0Overwatch 2 release date\u00a0rolls around. Meanwhile, be sure to check out our\u00a0Overwatch 2 tier list\u00a0to\u00a0pick the best\u00a0Overwatch 2 heroes\u00a0for you.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
