At PAX East, the folks from PlayersCut TV had the opportunity to conduct a quick Q&A with Overwatch developer Jeff Kaplan. Since he could only respond with “Yes”, “No”, or in case of doubt “I don’t know”, the whole process went fairly quickly. We have summarized the most interesting statements here for you.
- Contrary to many claims, Kaplan sees Overwatch as neither a mix of shooter and MOBA.
- There are still no plans for a single-player campaign.
- All heroes will be assigned a difficulty level, which can be viewed in the hero selection menu.
- The damage from melee and ranged heroes should not differ.
- They continue to strive to cover a wide range of nations and personalities with the heroes to represent players around the world.
- “Widowmaker” was not created due to inspiration from the two Starcraft ghosts Kerrigan and Nova.
