Project Titan's end 'immediately instilled a culture of humility' in the Overwatch team which has helped them see the last decade through

Most Overwatch fans will know its origins by now: as the recycled product made from the scraps of Project Titan, an MMO that was abruptly cancelled by Blizzard after seven years in development. After this, the team was just given six weeks to come up with a new pitch, something that could rival the revenue brought in by Warcraft; that doesn't sound stressful at all.

But if there were a silver lining to this ridiculous crunch, it would be that it instilled resilience and humility into Team 4 from the start of Overwatch's life, according to Keller. This is something that has undoubtedly seen the team through a decade of Overwatch which has included some particularly rough patches, especially around Overwatch 2's inception.

Hard work and staying true to what made Overwatch so great to begin with was key to Team 4 getting the live-service game back on track over the last few years. And now, 10 years later, the team can be proud of the fact that Overwatch is in its best shape ever.

It also means that the team rarely gets too caught up in what the future holds. "It's really hard to predict 'Hey, 10 years out in the future, we'll still be working on this thing that we all enjoy and love today'," Keller adds.
