Justin Richmond who created Netflix’s The Dragon Prince animated show has joined the Overwatch team. This has led to speculation that Activison-Blizzard is planning an Overwatch-themed animated show which has long been requested by the fan-base in an effort to expand the well regarded IP. Here’s what Mr. Richmond had to say on Linkedin:
“My very first BlizzCon was when Overwatch was first announced, and I instantly fell in love with the world and the game. I looped through the line over and over to play the demo as many times as possible, constantly getting my ass kicked trying to learn Tracer.
Hopefully I can get some lessons, because today I’m excited to announce that I have joined the Overwatch Team as the new Franchise Creative Director. I can’t wait to contribute to the next era of Overwatch! This is a huge year for both Blizzard and the game, and I’m thrilled to be on board for the ride.
Hope I see you at BlizzCon this year!”
Thanks to SonicGalaxy27 for sending in the news tip!
That’s hype. Overwatch has some really great characters, fingers crossed this is a full fledged series and not some reveal trailer for just a new hero
