Jeff Kaplan has responded to fan requests for an Overwatch equivalent of the increasingly ever-present Battle Royale mode, saying that the dev team has considered it for the game, but that shoehorning it in isn’t as straightforward as some players seem to think.
Speaking to Kotaku, the Overwatch game director said: “A lot of times when I hear some of our fans pitch it, they’re like ‘Oh, just put a card in the Arcade one day that’s a battle royale mode,’ and I’m like ‘F**k, that would be awesome.’ But there’s a lot of design and tech work to get us to that place and not just feel like a me-too game.”
