This week’s Overwatch 2 Weekly Recap is directly from our Comms team (Community, PR, and Social). With Season 18 underway and the next Developer Update already filmed, the developers are now focusing on polishing. Consequently, this week, the communication team is in the limelight.
What’s Going On Behind the Scenes?
The details for Season 18 have been set. Quality assurance testing is currently being carried out. A major developer update video has been recorded and will soon be released. Simultaneously, work on upcoming seasons is progressing.
As a dedicated gamer immersed in the world of Overwatch 2, I’m stepping aside from the battlefield for a moment to share some insights about how Blizzard is enhancing communication with us players. They’re diligently working behind the scenes to ensure we stay updated and informed.
Inside the Overwatch 2 Comms Strategy
Here’s how the Overwatch 2 team keeps communication flowing:
- Director’s Take: Posts from leads like Aaron or Alec. These give insight into design philosophy and upcoming direction.
- Dev Update Videos: High-level previews and exciting reveals before each new season.
- Dev Livestreams: Deep dives into design, balance, and development decisions.
- Overwatch 2 Weekly Recall: Regular updates on different topics, map changes, hero balance, or behind-the-scenes development.
Every approach offers a unique perspective, and collectively they create a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing developments in Overwatch 2.
