Blizzard has announced that the graphic novel, Overwatch: First Strike, has been canceled.
Lead writer Michael Chu announced its cancelation in a post on the official Overwatch forums, saying, "While we are grateful to the team for the fantastic work they put into it, we've ultimately decided to take the story in a different direction."
Chu explained that the idea for the comic originated when the game was early on in development, and was conceived out of a desire to share the story of Overwatch's founding during the Omnic Crisis.
Since then, however, the universe of Overwatch has grown and evolved. "While the core of this story remains, we have changed and expanded upon how we see the events that took place during the first days of Overwatch," he explained. That said, Chu assured fans that Blizzard is well aware of fans' desire to learn more about this story, and still plans to tell it at some point in the future.
