Overwatch will debut later next month on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and earlier this week its long-running closed beta ended, although from May 3 the game will become playable in open beta for all players.
But perhaps one thing that not everyone knows is that Blizzard - during the game's development - have been taking advantage of Treyarch's support when honing gunplay for the game on consoles, with that studio veterans of the shooter genre thanks to its work on Call of Duty.
Assistant game director, Aaron Keller, revealed it in a recent interview with GamesRadar, saying: "We actually worked with some of the Treyarch guys to make sure our aim assist [on controllers] felt really good, they were really helpful".
It turns out that this isn't the first time that Activision Blizzard studios have given each other a hand in the development of their respective games, with Keller revealing that the same thing happened with Destiny:
"We collaborate with the Destiny team, when they were building Destiny they wanted to talk to some of the people at World of Warcraft to see how they made some of their content. And we've gone to Treyarch a number of times and talked to them, whether it's about some of their guts of the engine features, or whether it's about tuning changes. And they've come out and looked at some of our stuff, too."
Overwatch will land on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on May 24.
