Former Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan has revealed that he hasn’t played the hero shooter since leaving Blizzard in 2021 and actively avoids any content related to the game for the sake of his mental wellbeing. Kaplan was the face of Overwatch for years, becoming a beloved figure in the community thanks to his developer updates and close relationship with players. However, the director left Blizzard in April 2021, before Overwatch 2 was released, and has since made a conscious effort to distance himself from the franchise. He described his departure as an “almost clinical separation,” adding, “I’ve literally not played the game since April 2021.” Jeff Kaplan refuses to watch Overwatch videos or read community discussions According to Kaplan, the last version of Overwatch he remembers is the one from April 2021, when Echo was the newest hero added to the roster.
