Blizzard: Lucio Ball in Overwatch may get a follow-up

Scott Mercer confirms the team is keen to do more events like Summer Games.

Overwatch has been running a series of Summer Games alongside the Olympic Games and when we talked to Principal Designer Scott Mercer at Gamescom 2016 we asked him whether more events are planned for the future.

"We definitely want to do more events like this", he said. "Hard to say exactly what form though, because I think whenever we're talking about Summer Games we initially think of Lucio Ball and Lucio Ball was this thing we prototyped and went 'hey this thing's kind of fun' and then kept on developing and making it cooler and cooler. So it's hard to say which events we might do but we're very excited especially because Summer Games has been received so well and Lucio Ball is just a blast to play and if we can come up with new, fun game modes or whatever else we might come up with then yeah we'll do that".

We also asked about the skins that were made available during the Summer Games. "They're only available during the Summer Games. Summer Games might return in the future and then they'll be available there as well during the game as you play and earn levels".
