Overwatch Mobile, Called Overwatch 3, Coming Soon for Elated Fans of the Beloved Title

Rumors are circulating that a new Overwatch Mobile Game will be coming soon. According to Money Today Broadcasting (MTN), a new mobile game and a Starcraft IP are in the works. The new Mobile Game will likely be a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) variant. Below, we discuss all the information we know at present, with more likely to emerge in the coming days.

Blizzard’s Overwatch Mobile and StarCraft IP Collaboration

Many South Korean developers have vied for collaboration with Blizzard on the new StarCraft IP. Nexon, NC, and Netmarble have all competed for the license, but according to MTN, Nexon has won the preferred bidding rights. The collaboration will be the first time Blizzard collaborates with local South Korean game companies.

The bidding rights apply to the StarCraft IP and the Overwatch Mobile Game (dubbed ‘Overwatch 3’ by South Korean developers). The exact type of game the Starcraft IP will take is still unknown, with many expecting it to be a real-time strategy game. However, it must compete with the power of StarCraft and StarCraft 2. The Overwatch Mobile Game will likely be MOBA-esque, similar to League of Legends’ Mobile Game: Wild Rift. Blizzard wants the Mobile Game distribution rights to lie solely in Korea and Japan, taking into consideration any South Korean gaming companies that wanted global rights.

Timeframe

No official date exists for the news surrounding the Overwatch Mobile Game or the StarCraft IP. Given Blizzard’s usual desire to keep information behind closed doors for extended periods, we will likely not get that information soon. Stay tuned for more updates on Total Apex Media. Remember that all information regarding these products is rumored and could change at any time once official updates are released to the public. If this is true, gamers all around the world will be very excited.
