I would like Blizzard to make a fighting game (Genre:- Tekken, Soulcaliber, mortal combat etc). They convey the violence so well in D3 , I reckon the sound FX and visuals would quickly become the best of all games in the genre. They love online games and fighting allows for that, but also couch co-op.
Maybe they haven’t because they don’t see a new or novel way to do the genre - I don’t know. I just know that Blizzard has a track record of making genre defining games - Starcraft, diablo, WoW, overwatch……I’d love to see them smash up the fighting game genre……
If they ever decide to make a Mortal Kombat like game (without all the gore and blood to attract younger audience) and put all the characters from all current Blizz games to fight against each other than this might even be interesting.
Would be fun if it had a combo system like in Mortal Kombat (with the same 2d “view”) with maybe even some super moves which allow for crazy combos etc.
Blizz already made Overwatch which is a FPS game, why not try a fighting time too.
The closest to a Blizzard fighting game we might see in the near future is the addition of an Overwatch character to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Since Blizzard is a PC-focused game developer, and fighting games are more traditionally played on consoles/arcades, I don’t see a Blizzard fighting game any time soon.
True, Blizzard has diversified to the mobile and console markets too but I meant that their main IP has always been PC focused.
True, but most are just ports or multi-platform releases. Does PC have any fighting games that originated on PC?
Also, I’d expect most fighting games would not use typical PC interfaces (i.e. keyboard and mouse) and instead use a typical console controller, an arcade-style joystick pad thing, or some other weird peripheral like a Guitar Hero controller (whammy bar to keep the combo going).
