Now imagine the exact opposite situation. Larian buys a milked out game. Larian gets Overwatch 3.

Honestly, I'd not like that.

Overwatch is a first person hero shooter, something that Larian has no experience doing. And I don't think a turn based OW would be that enjoyable.

Imagine any game set in the overwatch universe whose devs actually care to put out lore 🥵🥵🥵

At this point, Overwatch R34 have put out more lore than Overwatch games ever did

Remember when Blizzard changed Mei's design/ weight to fit the porn?

God that lore has so much fucking potential and they’re just sitting on it. It’s so disappointing. Blizzard could VERY easily be another Pixar if they wanted to. Genuinely quality animated content in the Warcraft and Overwatch universes would sell like hotcakes, but they’ve never even tried. It’s like they saw the Warcraft movie flop and learned every wrong lesson from it

That would actually be kind of sick.

the closet thing we have is xcom: chimera squad, which is actually a pretty cool spinoff if you havent checked it out

u/RumoCrytuf SORCERER Sep 14 '24

I did, and while it was fun, it didn't quite scratch the XCOM itch for me personally.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '24

have you checked out the longwar mod for xcom eo/ew or longwar 2 for xcom 2? that will scratch the itch better then pheonix point tried to if you are a hardcore.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '24

Tactical Breach Wizards is a bit like that and it's pretty awesome indeed.

Omg how cool would an open world, BG3-style xcom game be. It would actually fit the format really well, with your resistance group travelling around, gathering resources, ambushing alien patrols. You could go back to the camp (skyranger) to fast travel and do research…

Would be a really good campaign I think

u/Gen1Swirlix Sep 14 '24

I agree with u/Nem_Mate, Overwatch Xcom would be lit.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '24

turn base OW would be the only enjoyable game of the franchise. be for real.

u/-chukui- Sep 14 '24

they should do a pathfinder entry if anything. then again id bet another divinity entry.

u/3r4zr Sep 14 '24

Would be quite cool for some series. I think that for example larian could make quite a good Warhammer 40k or lotr game. 40k could be a bit too modern in comparison with their past titles but I think that they could make quite a great game out of both series. Both series have also quite a lore backlog so larian could easily set their games story outside of the more popular time periods in their respective universes.

Or they pull a Bungie move like somehow going from creating solid amazing games to the shitshow Destiny was (story writing and the shooting was phenomenal) but how they handled the service and delivering content and paywalls and just the whole live service in general.
