As it stands Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm features characters from Blizzard’s franchises – StarCraft, Diablo, and Warcraft – but what about Overwatch? Overwatch, for those unfamiliar, is Blizzard’s newest franchise in years and it is an FPS shooter complete with new characters of their own.So the question is, could it be possible that one day Overwatch characters make their way into Heroes of the Storm? Well if you thought it would be an awesome idea, you will be pleased to learn that it is a possibility. This is according to Blizzard community manager Trikslyr who wrote in the forums, “There will be no addition of an Overwatch hero [in Heroes of the Storm] until the game officially releases. At that point, it can become a possibility.”
We suppose that makes sense. After all it would seem odd that Blizzard would let players play with Overwatch characters even before the game is released, we’re sure Blizzard would prefer it if players got to know the characters first before deciding which character is iconic enough to be brought into the game.
Let’s not forget that this will most likely depend on Overwatch being a success. If it turns out to be a flop, we doubt Blizzard will want the existence of Overwatch characters in Heroes of the Storm to be a sore reminder of that. In the meantime there’s still no word on when Overwatch will be released, but there’s a good chance it won’t be this year.
