Nearly two years after Arcane concluded on Netflix, demand for similarly acclaimed video game adaptations remains strong, and Collider argues that Overwatch is the ideal candidate for the next one. The Blizzard shooter was previously in development for its own animated series, but those plans fell apart, despite Overwatch having the kind of extensive lore, worldbuilding and devoted fanbase that made Arcane such a success.

The article points to Arcane, based on League of Legends, as the model to follow, noting that its success came from being accessible to viewers with no prior knowledge of the games, thanks to strong original storytelling and worldbuilding using existing characters. It argues Overwatch's battle-arena setting and rich backstory make it well suited to a similar treatment, though it does not indicate that any new adaptation is currently in production.
