Meet Lauren Soanes, Game Producer on Overwatch 2 🦊 “For me, Pride is about visibility. I’m fortunate to work at a company that is so supportive of people, with a culture that welcomes and celebrates everyone for who they are. I know that not everyone is in this position, so I hope my openness can be a safe place for anyone reading this who needs it. I’ve worked in animation for most of my career. In 2016, the “Alive” cinematic introduced me to Overwatch, and my life changed. I saw the passion the players had for these games. I knew then I wanted to share my art with that community. I told myself “one day,” …and in 2021, I got to say “day one!” I started out producing cinematics. Over the past few years, I’ve gotten to work on the Kiriko cinematic for Overwatch 2, the Inarius and Lilith final confrontation in Diablo IV, and more recently, the World of Warcraft: The War Within announcement trailer. Now I’m on the Overwatch 2 team, and I’m the Mythic producer. It’s a little surreal! The first time I saw my favorite streamer equip a Mythic Mercy skin, I cried. Blizzard’s culture is something special. You can’t replicate it. Everyone here has boundless enthusiasm for our games. And my colleagues just happen to be the best in their field. I get to come to work and help this dream team conjure up the coolest things they can imagine – and they do! If you’re looking for tips to get into the gaming industry, I would say be specific in what you want to do. Figure out what interests you and then learn as much as you can about it. Some people looking to break in try and do a bit of everything, but it’s more useful to be specialized.” #BlizzardPride
