Jeff Kaplan makes ambiguous hints in the forum – will Overwatch soon get a clan system?
Especially in team games, it is common for players to join clans or guilds. These social features often make it easier to connect with like-minded individuals and provide a sense of belonging through a shared guild/clan name.
So far, Overwatch does not have such features and relies on a friends list or groups that organize outside the game – for example, in forums.
In the official forum, the user Dreck simply asked whether Overwatch could get such systems, as they would “improve the gameplay quality for many players.”
Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director of Overwatch, has directly commented on this, albeit with only a few words:
“We would *very* much like to work on such a system.”
Of course, no one in the forum overlooked the asterisks that Kaplan included in this statement, which immediately led to numerous speculations.
The most obvious interpretation is that Blizzard has long been working on a clan system and we will soon get these new features in our hands.
Until there is an official announcement, Jeff Kaplan continues to enjoy spreading a few rumors.
The 3rd season in Overwatch is ending soon – but the 4th is not far away.
