Since Overwatch launched last year, Blizzard has astounded its fanbase with incredible animated featurettes that focus on their main characters. These features have unbelievably moving stories and gorgeous visuals with a voice cast that rivals the best in the business. The only problem with it? It’s so freakin’ good that people want more! Overwatch is ripe with out-of-game possibilities and it’s got fans begging for anything they can get. Yesterday, Lion Montages released a fan-made Netflix trailer that showcases just how awesome a TV series could be.
Overwatch just recently celebrated its one year anniversary, and what a year it has been! According to Activision-Blizzard’s most recent 2017 earnings report, Overwatch exceeded one BILLION dollars in revenue and is now the eighth property under their belt to do so. IN ONLY A YEAR. With over 30 million players, it’s not hard to believe that Overwatch has the popularity to easily branch out into other media and be successful. If you’ve ever seen a panel with their wildly talented voice cast, you’d think they were already the cast of a TV show with how well they get along! They even hang with each other outside of the panels and post silly videos ion YouTube n character. Making a TV show with them would be not only feasible, but a definite hit.
Here’s hoping Blizzard steps up to the challenge and gives the fans what they want.
