Ahead of the arrival ofOverwatchon Nintendo Switch later this month, Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan has spoken out on the possibility of one of the game’s characters coming to the beloved Switch fighterSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Speaking toIGN, Kaplan was recently asked about the possibility of one of the heroes ofOverwatchjoiningSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Kaplan seemed excited about the idea saying, “To the Smash Brothers team, whatever character you want, we love them all. They’re all our babies, you can have any single one of them. We have 31 to choose from.” For Kaplan, it seems as though if any of the 31 characters ofOverwatchhappened to joinSmash Ultimate, he’d be thrilled regardless.
That being said, Kaplan did signal out one character he’d specifically like to see join the game and his choice shouldn’t surprise you. “Tracer’s our girl, Tracer’s our mascot. She’d be my first choice,” Kaplan said unsurprisingly. “There’s a lot of great runners up. I think a lot of people can immediately see Doomfist gameplay applying to Smash, but if it were up to me, I’d like to see Tracer.” As Kaplan points out, Tracer has long been the mascot forOverwatchas a whole, so she’d be the most likely candidate to joinSmash Ultimate, you’d have to guess.
Personally, while I don’t think I want any characters fromOverwatchjoiningSmash(sorry Blizzard fans), my selection would likely be Winston. This is only because I’d like to see both Winston and Donkey Kong pummel one another. That’s it, that’s literally the entire reasoning behind my decision. What can I say? I like to watch monkeys fight each other.
Currently, we know thatSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateis set to have one more fighter to be revealed in the current Fighter’s Pass withmore DLC characters arriving in the future. Who knows, maybe Tracer or someone else fromOverwatchwill be in that mix.
Overwatchis set to release on Switch later this month on October 15.
