Blizzard Wants An Overwatch Character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Overwatchโ€™s Lead Director Would Love If One of the Gameโ€™s Characters Were in Smash Ultimate

Blizzard Entertainment vice president and lead Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan told IGN recently that heโ€™d love to see an Overwatch character added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimateโ€™s huge roster of 70-plus fighters.

โ€œTo the Smash Brothers team, whatever character you want, we love them all,โ€ Kaplan said. โ€œTheyโ€™re all our babies, you can have any single one of them. We have 31 to choose from.โ€

When asked which character heโ€™d pick, Kaplan said heโ€™d want the nimble, charismatic Tracer to appear in the latest Super Smash Bros. game. โ€œTracerโ€™s our girl, Tracerโ€™s our mascot. Sheโ€™d be my first choice,โ€ Kaplan said. โ€œThereโ€™s a lot of great runners up. I think a lot of people can immediately see Doomfist gameplay applying to Smash, but if it were up to me, Iโ€™d like to see Tracer.โ€

Though thereโ€™s been no official announcement or indication that one of Overwatchโ€™s characters will be playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the hero shooter is launching on Nintendo Switch on October 15th. If the portโ€™s successful then maybe Kaplanโ€™s hopes will come closer to becoming a reality?
