As seen in the tweet below from the official Overwatch Twitter account, Mercy’s Legendary Sugar Plum Fairy skin changes the Swiss character’s white Valkyrie Suit into one of purples, magentas, and aquamarine greens. What’s more is that instead of the golden halo affixed to her head, the skin puts an elegant crown befitting a pixie, sprite, or wood nymph in her hair instead. Not to mention, she’s given a set of pointy elf-like ears to denote her status as a Sugar Plum Fairy....

Overwatch is highly competitive and any sort of trick to get one over on your opponent, and unless it’s the use of hacking, will likely be an acceptable measure to take. Even with the recent announcement of Overwatch 2, a new trick has been found that allows the character Widowmaker, already known for her agility, to be even more mobile than before by using an already implemented mechanic in a new way....

The report from Zillow, a leading online real estate company, showed increased house prices and raising interest rates have resulted in higher mortgage costs. The company said that while rents have also gone up in many places, mortgages are jumping at a steeper rate and are currently less affordable than at any time since 2007.

According to Pachter, gamers will bear witness to the three most important pieces of next-gen information at this year’s E3: the box, the price, and the date. Not only that, gamers will learn those three important details for both the PS4 and the Xbox 720. In a recent episode of Pachter’s own show, ‘Pach Attack’, he evaluated both Sony and Microsoft’s approach to next-gen reveals. He says that Sony was “smart” to do a reveal event in February as that kept buzz up and had people instantly talking about the PS4....

As spotted by PCGamesN, YouTuber Forge Labs, along with a bunch of others, has been engaging in a Minecraft event that turns the otherwise chill game into a dystopian nightmare. Essentially, what the players have done is make their own version of The Purge, in which all crime is legal, including murder, just like in the films and TV series.

After making quite a splash in the blood-red pool of video game horror in recent years, Bloober Team has also been linked with the alleged Silent Hill reboot. However, the lukewarm reception to its most recent release, The Medium, has led some fans to question whether the Polish developer is up to the task of revitalizing such a beloved franchise. Other recent Bloober Team titles like Layers Of Fear, while popular, have also been criticized for an over-reliance on jump scares as opposed to the slow-burn psychological horror that Silent Hill fans demand....

RELATED: Overwatch 2: Tracer Guide (Tips, Abilities, and More) That’s not a crown she’s going to give up anytime soon. Overwatch 2 has made games feel less like team fights and more like deathmatches by limiting teams to just one tank. This type of environment is where Zarya thrives the most.

Ashe herself is a popular DPS hero of choice for many players, making good use of her Viper rifle to deal high damage to targets up close and afar. Along with her incendiary dynamite which deals damage over time to anyone caught in its radius - and a high-recoil coach gun for particularly close encounters - Ashe can call in her Omnic friend BOB to help shoot down the opposing team members when she’s in a pinch....

Blizzard had to remove Mei from Overwatch 2 because of bugs impacting the character’s abilities. Mei has been sorely missed by Overwatch 2 fans, especially since she is a solid counter to popular Damage hero Genji. Unfortunately, Overwatch 2 players will have to wait a little longer for the November 15 update.

Reddit user Ahhshoelay recently made a post requesting Activision Blizzard treat chat messages like “tank/dps/support diff” similar to GG EZ which has long been replaced by phrases like “what a great game!” Toxicity has been a frequent problem in online gaming, and that became apparent quickly after the launch of the original Overwatch, and it’s something that has carried over to Overwatch 2. Although some other games like World of Warcraft and New World offer profanity filters that obscure problematic words, Overwatch has taken a different approach by turning the negative words into positive ones rather than random symbols....

This development comes after the wave of misconduct allegations aimed at Blizzard, which included developer Jesse McCree, the namesake of Overwatch character McCree.

One of the “squishiest” heroes in Overwatch is Zenyatta, the omnic monk who can deal out a lot of damage while keeping low-health allies topped up. Unlike other support characters, his lack of mobility makes him extremely vulnerable, though he can fight off weaker enemies. However, not all abilities can be protected against, and Zenyatta’s slow movement can end up getting him killed.

It’s for these reasons that some veteran Overwatch players believe that the game should have relegated the character Mei to this role back when it first released. But now that both the Role Queue rule and Hero Pool system exist, one Overwatch player believes it’s time for the devs to try something new with Mei.

According to Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan, Blizzard has been testing a major change to the role queue system over the past couple of months. Internally, Blizzard has been testing an Overwatch role queue composition of three DPS, two support characters, and one tank, with the hope that it would cut down on queue times. It was successful in that regard, but other challenges have arisen that makes it seem unlikely for the 3-2-1 role queue to actually be implemented in the game....
