Job Simulator Devs Put Overwatch Into Their Own Game
By John Jacques 02 March 2017
Overwatch may be making waves this week with potential new character hints being dropped left, right, and center, but it’s clear that Blizzard isn’t the only developer hungry to show off more content hyping up the the popular multiplayer title. Today, Owlchemy Labs employee Zi Ye showed off a fantastic ‘weekend project’ from the studio that takes place within Owlchemy Labs’ own Job Simulator, a humorous VR experience that turns absurdly mundane-sounding tasks into a fun time. As the tweet below shows, that task is evidently made easier if one incorporates Overwatch into the daily routine.
Zi Ye’s look at the last few days of creative fun by Olwchemy Labs reveals that the studio added everything from office-supply based renditions of Widowmaker’s rifle to Reaper’s twin guns into Job Simulator, and the unconventional Overwatch tie in doesn’t slow down from there: everything from a freezie-pop version of Mei’s freezing weapon to some impressive ninja rope movement (which Zi Ye admits doesn’t feel too great on the scale of motion sickness-inducing gameplay) manages to get crammed into the minute-and-a-half long video, which its certainly worth a view for fans of either game.
