How many heroes will there be 10 years from now?

General Discussion

Could we possibly have 30 characters in each category down the line? A huge roster with endless amount of possibilites? Or is there a limit on how many characters there can be? I wonder what will happen to the games characters in the long run.

i doubt the game is gonna survive this community for 10 years

I’d be surprised if servers were still open in 10 years… so, 0?

They would probably make an Overwatch 2 and remove some characters while adding new ones.

battle-net has been around since 1996.
Games like Starcraft was released in 1998 and is still played.
Diablo 2 which was released in 2000 is still being played.

So to the naysayers, there’s a chance that OverWatch might still be around and played 10 years down the line.

Might be around: Definitely
Keep adding new heroes (Or updates, or whatever): Probably not.

Assuming the game has a community and they don’t begin lowering their heroes per year (which they might do), there will be 57 including Brigette, but i doubt it’ll be that many. :slight_smile:

That depends. Quality or quantity? If they’re going for quantity, they’ll prolly keep pumping a new hero every 3 months or so. For quality? Maybe 2 heroes per year.

They did say in an interview a while back they aim to possibly slow the rate of hero releases eventually. :face_with_monocle:

If in ten years time I’m still just gaming and not fighting for food in the post-apocalyptic wasteland I’d call that a win :wink:
