It's that time of the year again: Blizzard has launched the Overwatch Lunar New Year 2020 event, offering a large number of new skins that are unlockable by completing challenges. The game is celebrating the Year of the Rat with a new brawl mode called 'Capture the Flag Blitz,' which is a version of the regular Capture the Flag mode that moves the flags much closer to each other.
One of the biggest announcements of BlizzCon 2019 was that of Overwatch 2. Blizzard didn't give us a reveal date for Overwatch 2, and unlike some other companies, Blizzard games can sometimes take years in between reveal and launch. In short: While many might hope that Overwatch 2 is coming out at some point in 2020, it could very well be a longer wait.
Diablo 4 wasn't the only big reveal of BlizzCon 2019's opening ceremony, as Blizzard also announced Overwatch 2. Rumors and whispers heading into BlizzCon 2019 suggested such a reveal was going to happen, and it turns out they were right. Overwatch 2 will apparently put a heavier emphasis on PvE content, though fans who enjoy Overwatch's PvP modes will be taken care of as well.
Later today, BlizzCon 2019 will kick off, and many of us are expecting it to be a big show. After an underwhelming BlizzCon 2018, rumor has it that Blizzard will pull out the big guns this year, revealing both Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2. When you consider that we'll probably also see new announcements regarding World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, it should be a pretty big show.
Thanks to the former popularity of MOBA games, League of Legends developer Riot Games became one of the better-known names in the industry. What isn't that well-known, however, is that the company actually doesn't have any other product that isn't League of Legends or related to it. With the age of MOBAs seemingly waning, the company may have realized it was time to get ready to move on beyond LoL and create a future that may not involve it. And that is what Project A is really all about.
The Switch is a console that lends itself well to owning a digital library. With that focus on portability, there's something to be said for having most or all of your games installed on the console and ready to play, regardless of where you happen to be at the time. Still, there will always be many gamers who prefer owning physical copies of games, but if you're in that camp and you're planning on picking up Overwatch tomorrow, you might want to skip the physical copy and just buy directly from the Nintendo eShop.
Overwatch is the latest Blizzard game to receive an official cookbook, giving fans more than ninety treats and beverages inspired by the game's characters. Fans will find everything from an adorable 'Orisa Sundae' to Rikimaru-inspired ramen and 'Valkyrie's Flight.' The cookbook joins Blizzard's recently launched and officially sanctioned The Elder Scrolls cookbook.
There are a number of non-Nintendo characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and considering that most of the DLC characters so far have come from properties that Nintendo doesn't own, we'll probably see even more by the time everything is said and done. One of those characters could be from Overwatch, Blizzard's immensely popular team shooter game, assuming that Nintendo and Sora Ltd. are open to having such a character join the Ultimate roster.
It looks like some big changes are on the way to Overwatch. Blizzard has published a new update to the PTR that ships significant changes for a number of characters - all tallied up, around half the cast is being changed in some form. The update is so large that Blizzard is even referring to it as a "remaster" in its patch notes.
As expected, Nintendo has confirmed that hit Blizzard game Overwatch is coming to the Nintendo Switch console. The title was confirmed during the company's Nintendo Direct broadcast today, during which time the company also revealed plans to launch Luigi's Mansion 3 and other games.
From the day the Nintendo Switch was announced, gamers have been pining for ports of all sorts of very popular games. One game that often comes in conversations regarding the Switch is Blizzard's Overwatch, which is available on all other modern platforms - PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Now, two years and some change after launch, it seems like Overwatch may finally be coming to the Switch.
Yesterday, Blizzard revealed Sigma, the next hero on the way to Overwatch. With that reveal, we only got a trailer showing Sigma's origin story, and it was quite a disturbing look at a man who has had his mind shattered by his scientific pursuits. We figured we wouldn't have to wait long to learn more about Sigma, and we were right, as Blizzard today revealed just what he'll be capable of on the battlefield.
