Change in Blog Cadence
The Overwatch communications team has announced a shift in the frequency of their Weekly Recall blogs. Originally intended to be published every Friday, the team will now adopt a more flexible approach, moving towards a semi-regular schedule. This decision comes as the team grapples with the balance between quality and quantity in their updates. The team noted that some blogs can take several days or even weeks to ideate, draft, review, edit, and localize, which has prompted this change.
Quality vs. Quantity Debate
The communications team highlighted the challenges of maintaining a consistent blog schedule while ensuring that the content is well-crafted and informative. The decision to move away from a rigid weekly cadence allows for more time to refine the content, ensuring that it meets the expectations of the community. This shift reflects an ongoing internal discussion about whether to prioritize consistent releases or to wait for more polished content.
Looking Ahead
Despite the change in schedule, the team reassured fans that they will still aim to publish at least one Director's Take each month. The next installment is anticipated within the first two weeks of April, alongside the first livestream of the year. The team is also taking community feedback into account to shape future content, including topics for upcoming blogs and livestreams. This feedback will help inform which areas to focus on, ensuring that the content resonates with the community's interests.
