World of Warcrafts narrative struktur er inspireret af Overwatch

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth er lige om hjørnet, og dermed begynder et nyt stort kapitel af Warcraft-sagaen, som har varet i mange, mange år og har fans overalt på kloden. Men hvorimod Warcraft-fortællingen hovedsageligt er blevet fortalt igennem spillene, så vil Blizzard fokusere meget mere på andre platforme fremadrettet - præcis som de gør med Overwatch.

I et interview med PCGamesN fortæller Blizzards Terran Gregory at hvorimod Warcraft er blevet ekspanderet via tegneserier, bøger og en biograffilm tidligere, så bliver det et multimedieprojekt fremadrettet.

"I think Blizzard started putting its foot into the transmedia game with Overwatch. And as they saw that being incredibly successful throughout its comic book releases, its short series, 2.5D animation, character origin stories, any number of things building out that world - before even the game had been released, people were already enamored with and in love with this world. Of course we take notice and want to apply the lessons learned from Overwatch to World of Warcraft."
