A Glimmer of Hope for Overwatch Mobile
The dream of Overwatch on mobile appeared to fade after reports suggested the project had been shelved. However, a newly announced partnership between Nexon and Blizzard has reignited speculation about its potential revival.
New Starcraft Title Takes Center Stage
While the agreement primarily grants Nexon publishing and development rights for a new Starcraft installment—following a competitive bidding process against companies like Krafton and Netmarble—the deal may include another exciting prospect. Reports indicate Overwatch mobile publishing rights were also part of negotiations, suggesting the project isn't entirely abandoned.
Potential MOBA Spinoff or Heroes of the Storm Revival
Rather than a direct mobile port, insiders suggest this could introduce an official Overwatch MOBA spinoff or sequel. Blizzard has previously explored the MOBA format with Heroes of the Storm, and this could mark its mobile debut—or a completely new Overwatch-themed MOBA.
Given Overwatch's competitive nature and existing MOBA-inspired elements, such a shift could revitalize the franchise amidst rising competition like Marvel Rivals. While an "Overwatch 3" seems unlikely for mobile, a strategic pivot could help Blizzard and Nexon strengthen Overwatch's presence in the evolving multiplayer market.
As details emerge, fans await confirmation on whether this signals a Heroes of the Storm revival, a brand-new MOBA, or another innovative direction for Overwatch.
