Overwatch Has A Story, But No Single-Player
I spent the weekend at BlizzCon, aka Overwatch-And-Some-Other-Stuff Con, aka Metzcon 2014. I played a demo of the surprising team-based shooter and liked it pretty well—with some reservations—but it was only a small snippet. I asked Blizzard about what the future holds. Here's what they told me.
Will there be a single-player story?—No. While Overwatch has many characters and stories adding sunny splotches of color to its not-quite-as-interesting levels, Blizzard feels a traditional single-player campaign would get in the way of good multiplayer gameplay. "I don't think we would ever do a single-player campaign, because the way these characters work... they're cool when you combine them together," explained game director Jeff Kaplan. "Some don't play well alone, either. Unless we built a campaign around supporting somebody else, a support character like Mercy probably wouldn't do well."
