Blizzard Entertainment now has another union, this time comprising the nearly 200 developers behind Overwatch 2. The Overwatch Gamemakers Guild is organized under the Communications Workers of America, after an “overwhelming majority” of the game’s staff voted in support. Microsoft has already recognized the new union.
The new organization is the second wall-to-wall union at Activision Blizzard, following the formation of the World of Warcraft Gamemakers Guild in July 2024. Wall-to-wall means the union is made of Overwatch 2 developers from across all disciplines, as opposed to representing a single department.
