Blizzard Vice President Jeff Kaplan took to the airwaves earlier today to introduce Overwatch Workshop that is already live on the OW PTR. Players will be able to "craft your marvelous creations!" It is a scripting mode that allows players to make custom game modes within the custom games browser and to prototype custom Overwatch heroes with the system. This feature will be available for PC and console. Kaplan said it is important to note that this is NOT a map editor.

    Groovy ..... must admit I think along with the 4 player scenarios they could add more RPG style of content .... so much potential with spin offs ...

    I am totally surprised, the whole GaaS philosophy does not go in the direction that allows players even this amount of freedom with a game.

    Well, yeah, it's proven to be a popular thing in a lot of games. Nothing wrong with allowing community support!

    Player created content ALWAYS adds to games, period and unless its content developers are trying to use as their own or sponge off of its a good thing. How much replay ability did it add to games like cs:source and starcraft/warcraft 3?

    I dont really think his comment is without merit given that blizzard decided to gut their esport department/investment/whatever you want to call it then use toys (of all things, on top of trying to sell a new mount a week or so before announcing that too) to 'help' fund the prize pool only to find out that it was already a fixed amount anyway. I mean if you're unaware of their tactics, sure its a good thing. OW has been one of their financial bottoms recently anyway, so this isn't really a surprise.

    Sounds pretty dope. I’m fine just playing QP and CM, but I do hope they come up with some fun stuff for distraction. The custom games have a lot of options already, so it will be cool to see what folks do with the new tools. Not holding my breath, but would be cool if it works out for some players.

    Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
