Developers announced Overwatch 2 during BlizzCon in 2019. Originally intended to release as a separate game with a shared PvP multiplayer, the game is now set to be a free-to-play replacement for the original, with Blizzard planning to shut down Overwatch’s servers and transfer player’s cosmetics and in-game currency to Overwatch 2. The game releases in early access on October 4th. RELATED: Brand-New Overwatch Players in OW2 Will Have to Play Around 100 Matches to Unlock All the OW1 Heroes...

While many characters have received major buffs and reworks, one hero from the original Overwatch that has l;argely been left out is Zenyatta. While the support has been given a new strong melee attack that lets Zenyatta distance himself from enemies in Overwatch 2, some fans feel that the character is otherwise lackluster in-game. This has led one Overwatch 2 fan to design their own rework for Zenyatta, giving him a new ability similar to Orisa and Doomfist’s changes, more fitting with an overhaul of the hero rather than a simple buff to his passive....

Overwatch 2 is the sequel to Blizzard’s hit 2016 multiplayer shooter, Overwatch, and it picks up shortly after Blizzard’s series of animated shorts, which sees the titular team reunite to protect the world. The game will once again focus on PvP, which will release first and has undergone several changes from the first game, including reducing teams from six players to five and limiting each team to only one tank....

A main portion of the criticism stemming from Overwatch 2’s aforementioned battle pass system surrounds the fact that the best cosmetic skins in the game can no longer organically be unlocked without microtransactions. The upcoming PvE mode for Overwatch 2 could then kill two birds with one stone, setting the new title apart from its predecessor while also providing players with the opportunity to unlock more attractive in-game skins without the need for payment....

After their five other teammates abruptly quit an Overwatch match on King’s Row, a player was allowed to win the game as their opponents stood down and even pushed them to the victory. The clip shared on the r/Overwatch forum by zzzzzzzztuo starts as the player’s Mercy is casually pushing the payload through the final point and tying the match to force overtime.

Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan didn’t reveal much about Hero 31, but he did reveal a couple of things about him. For one, Hero 31 will in fact be a male character, and secondly, he won’t be available as soon as fans would expect. It’s unclear what exactly this means, but it seems like a safe bet that Hero 31 won’t be in Overwatch until after the summer season wraps up....

Why does Overwatch 1 need to be taken offline? There’s still a lot of work to be done to the game’s servers to ready it for complete deployment, and making sure people aren’t on board playing is the best way to do that. So about a day or so before Overwatch 2 debuts, as commercial lead Jon Spector stated in a recent Eurogamer interview, there will be 27 hours of downtime for the crew to launch Overwatch 2....

Reddit user Angryrat recently shared a clip of Overwatch gameplay from a match of King’s Row in which they were playing as Ana. During the clip, Ana was healing the heroes pushing the payload through King’s Row with her Biotic Rifle,. While Ana reloaded, she looked to the sky to see a healing Bastion flying backward through the sky. RELATED: Activision Blizzard Stock Drops Dramatically After Big Game Delays...

In early August, T-Mobile announced it was ending its sponsorship of the Overwatch League. Days later, Coca-Cola and State Farm announced they were reconsidering their partnership with the Overwatch League and pulled all advertising as part of the league’s events until it had reached a conclusion. Pringles and IBM were next, with Xfinity waiting until September to quietly have its advertising disappear. Two of those sponsors have now apparently decided against dropping their Overwatch League sponsorship and have returned....

Not only is the sword painstakingly designed to look exactly as it does in the game, but it also comes with a lot of extra features, making it more than a mere prop. The Overwatch Ultimate Genji Sword, as it is called in the store, comes with its own sheath and stand. And, because it wouldn’t really be Genji’s sword without it, it lights up in a verdant green when the trigger on the handle is pressed....

While the concept of a recruitment poster is certainly unique, it is not the only time that fans have created some in-universe artwork. A few months back, a clever player came up with a series of Overwatch magazine covers that each focused on a different hero. Each featured an article title that highlighted the character’s backstory, and the magazines surely would surely be some required reading for those inside the world of Overwatch....

Another reasoning behind Overwatch’s popularity is how inclusive the characters are, be it with their sexuality or with the motivation behind their actions within the game. It is due to Overwatch’s popularity both among gamers and outside of video games that makes it an unexpected reference point in places one wouldn’t expect to see. For one Redditor, that reference is within an ACT book. RELATED: Sojourn is Effectively the Face of Overwatch 2...

This announcement comes after a near 12 year run with Blizzard Entertainment, in which Galand was said to have worked on the canceled Project Titan, Overwatch, and Overwatch 2. Galand leaves behind an incredibly successful legacy of incredible characters and beautiful art.

For some reason, the Overwatch team chose to only let certain heroes sing onstage in Downtown Busan when players press the interact button by the microphone. As of Overwatch’s update on August 13, Mercy entered this limited group. The karaoke bar has been one of the most exciting Downtown Busan spawns since it got added in 2018, as it allows players to watch their favorite heroes sing to them....

The England attacker arrived at Anfield from Arsenal on transfer deadline day for a fee reported to be in the region of £40 million but struggled in the weeks immediately following that switch. 12/5 for Liverpool and Sevilla draw Oxlade-Chamberlain earned his first league start under Jurgen Klopp at the London Stadium and scored the third in Liverpool’s resounding 4-1 win, his effort adding to Mohamed Salah’s brace and Joel Matip’s tap-in....

Ox 4/1 to score v Spurs The England international has had to be patient following a £35 million summer transfer to Anfield from Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp has sought to ease him into the fold, handing him just one Carabao Cup start so far and seven outings off the bench. The 24-year-old was named among the substitutes again for a Champions League clash with Maribor, but entered the fold in the second half to net his first Liverpool goal....

The German takes his side to London on Friday, when Oxlade-Chamberlain will look to make a point against the club he left in August. His recent performances have drawn praise from many, though Klopp was impressed from the start and suggested that he may be demanding more attacking output than was expected of the 24-year-old by Arsene Wenger. “He did well from the first day,” the Reds boss said. “If you are a big signing everyone expects you to perform immediately....

The 24-year-old finalised a move to Jurgen Klopp’s side from Arsenal on Premier League deadline day for an initial fee of £35million. Reds 4/6 for the top four The midfielder admitted that the decision to quit the Gunners for a direct rival would come as a surprise for a number of fans but underlined his belief that he would develop into a better player at Liverpool.

Miraculously all members of the Byrde family have made it through all four seasons of Ozark thus far. Part 1 of Ozark’s fourth and final season began with an intense car crash with Marty (Jason Bateman), Wendy (Laura Linney), Charlotte (Sofia Hublitz), and Jonah (Skylar Gaertner) inside their van that flipped several times. The casualties of the car crash have yet to be seen but all members of the Byrde family have become entangled with danger....

But it quickly became apparent that I’d misread that “Ohhh,” because he went on to say, “How I envy you. You have such a thrill in front of you.” And he was absolutely right. Reading Wodehouse for the first time really is a pleasure like no other. Because whatever you think it’s going to be, it’s not like that at all. I think I expected something along the lines of stories about dotty aunts, elderly earls, silly twits and poker-faced butlers engaged in fey dialogue and plots filled with mistaken identities and foolish wagers and all the other feckless sins of the English upper class....
