Overwatch Might See a Map Editor In The Future

March 21, 2017 by Jordan Coetsee

Fans could see a map editor in Overwatch, but it won’t be anytime soon.

Overwatch Director Jeff Kaplan is contemplating bringing a map editor to Overwatch, but it won’t happen soon.

Stating in the official Overwatch thread, Jeff Kaplan explained that his team are “open-minded” about bringing a map editor to overwatch but there are “challenges” that first need to be overcome.

“We are extremely open-minded about releasing a map editor for Overwatch someday,” he said. “But because Overwatch was made with a brand new engine, this is not a small task or one which can happen any time soon.”

Kaplan added that Blizzard has a “long-term road map” for Overwatch and it [believes] heavily in user-made content, but noted “there are many challenges ahead of us and it will be a very long road before our editor can be made available to the public.”

If Blizzard has any motivation to go by for a map editor it should definitely Warcraft 3. A game which is over a decade old still has a dedicated fanbase who create thousands of maps which continuously keep the game interesting and new.
