Overwatch lore will eventually come closer to present day

Overwatch has a lot of lore around it for fans who seek it out, focusing on the past mostly, and when asked by Overwatch Wire whether that would change, Lead Writer Michael Chu said that they're open to the idea.

"Yeah we're definitely interested in doing that. Obviously the last two events have focused more on the past. When we look at the Overwatch universe, we really look at the entire timeline from the Omnic crisis to the present day, and so we've been bouncing around with where our stories are," he explained.

"We're definitely interested in telling stories that are closer to the present day. But we're likely to also still do some stories that show the past. There's just a lot of interesting things. Like I said earlier, we like to focus on the stories we think are the most interesting, excite us, and reveal something about a character."
