I’m curious about who is currently responsible for Overwatch’s lore and storytelling since Michael Chu was the lead writer until March 2020. Is there someone new in this role, and how can I get in touch with them? I’m particularly interested in who wrote the story for the Genesis short series.

Fear not! Many fans have been concerned that the writing team might’ve been downsized recently. Some believe that the current state of Overwatch’s lore is a reflection of that. It’s tough to say if they’re actively writing or if everything has been pushed to a background role. Trying to find clear info is like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes!
Hey there! I’m not sure who exactly took over after Michael Chu, but it seems there hasn’t been a clear replacement mentioned publicly. I think the storytelling direction might be more collaborative now. If you’re looking for someone to reach out to, I’d recommend checking Blizzard’s official channels or forums for the latest updates. They might put out info about their current writers occasionally!
Honestly, I’ve heard rumors that some sort of AI writing tools are being used for the lore now, which would be a huge shift! But that’s just chatter I’ve stumbled upon. I can’t verify it, so take it with a grain of salt. There’s a lot of speculation about the storytelling approach moving forward.
