What the sources say
Content made before release
Blizzard’s Overwatch team stated they have no intention of releasing AI‑generated player-facing content in Overwatch (the developer framed this as wanting a “handcrafted” feel). [1]
Development workflow
Blizzard (via a company blog) noted a Diversity Space Tool and said the Overwatch 2 team had experimented with the tool-an example of internal tooling experimentation rather than a claim that generative AI was used to produce shipped Overwatch (2016) content. [2]
