Overwatch 2: 13 Things We Learned From Blizzconline
13. Dialogue System and Music
There's a lot to be said about how iconic Overwatch's music has become. It's very easily one of the first pieces to come to mind when one thinks of "heroic music", and would stand tall among iconic themes such as those from franchises like Star Wars.
It isn't even just a one-off, either, with how the music in the Zero Hour cinematic got people emotional years after the first Overwatch cinematic came out. A recent feature on the Overwatch: Cities & Countries soundtrack proves just how much the team cares about Overwatch's music, not even mentioning how Lucio, an in-universe DJ, has his own official album in Synaesthesia Auditiva. The team even had its own 18-minute feature on Overwatch's music on the first day of Blizzconline.
Overwatch 2 seems to be developing new themes for their heroes and their plethora of new locations - a massive undertaking for any musical team, but one they seem distinctly excited about.
There's also been talk of how dialogue will be unique for each hero depending on who gets brought on missions, changing interactions and making the story all the more dynamic and engaging along the way.
