Overwatchโs Lead Director Would Love If One of the Gameโs Characters Were in Smash Ultimate
Blizzard Entertainment vice president and lead Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan told IGN recently that heโd love to see an Overwatch character added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimateโs huge roster of 70-plus fighters.
โTo the Smash Brothers team, whatever character you want, we love them all,โ Kaplan said. โTheyโre all our babies, you can have any single one of them. We have 31 to choose from.โ
When asked which character heโd pick, Kaplan said heโd want the nimble, charismatic Tracer to appear in the latest Super Smash Bros. game. โTracerโs our girl, Tracerโs our mascot. Sheโd be my first choice,โ Kaplan said. โThereโs 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, Iโd like to see Tracer.โ
Though thereโs been no official announcement or indication that one of Overwatchโs characters will be playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the hero shooter is launching on Nintendo Switch on October 15th. If the portโs successful then maybe Kaplanโs hopes will come closer to becoming a reality?
