A🦩ctivision Blizzard is reportedly trying to📖 bring Overwatch Mobile to your phone screens.

That's according to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier in his new book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Blizzard Entertainment, in which he interviews over 300 developers from across the company's history on everything from its fabled cancellations to the turmoil that fo🐬llowed it at every step.

Despite being a massive breakout hit and launching a short-lived hero shooter craze, Overwatch has never really been able to capitalize on its viral characters outside of the main game's offerings. The Overwatch 2 team scrapped its promised PvE campai🌳gn that pretty much justified the sequel's revamp, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a Netf𓂃lix Overwatch series was alജso canned after a legal fallout.

But ꦬBlizzard Entertainment apparently still has plans to expand the franchise. "Overwatch was led by Walter Kong, who oversaw the release of regular heroes and content for Overwatch 2, as well as new projects like a mobile version of the franchise," Schreier writes. (Thanks, .) 

There's no word on how far along the mobile version might be, whether it's a straight-up port or a new take on the series, or if it's even still in development - again, Blizzard's history is rife with projects that neve🌳rꦏ crossed the finish line. We'll just need to wait for an official announcemen♑t from Blizzard and Overwatch general manager Walter Kong for more details.

Activision Blizzard found mega-success - we're talking billions of dollars in annual revenue - from its efforts to condense Call of Duty's frantic shooting onto smartphones. In 2022, Call of Duty Mobile 💝was almost as big as🦩 the mainline games and Warzone combined. The port eventually eclipsed the main game's popularity the year after, paving the way for this year's Warzone Mobile to find similarly bonkers success. So, it's no surprise to hear that the company's other big FPS, and all those famo🎀us faces, are also going the Call of Dut🤡y route.

Desperate to get another FPS off the ground, Blizzard developers reportedly pitched WarCraft 4 and a Call of Duty RTS.
