See Games Differently
Jeff Kaplan
Interviews can be a bit dry sometimes, even with the chattiest of developers. So at Blizzcon this year, as a way to get staffers on Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, Overwatch and more to talk about experiences that we might not ordinarily hear about, I tried something a little different.
During a livestream, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan revealed that the team has actually had a black female character that’s been part of the game’s lore since around 2014. Fans are wondering why she still isn’t playable.
Overwatch fans disappointed with Ashe should know that six new heroes are in the works, Blizzard has told Kotaku, and that fans hoping for more diversity in the popular game’s cast of characters will hopefully find what they’re looking for in upcoming updates.
