That philosophy not only extends from the game's design and multiplayer, but also deep into the themes and characters of Overwatch itself. The game's shining optimism and diverse character designs run deep throughout the experience. More than anything, Overwatch brims with character and charm - Blizzard somehow took a talking gorilla, a sassy time-bender, a shotgun-toting reaper ( who has made for a hilarious parody Twitter account ), and so many other weird, wonderful characters and made them all feel a part of this shared universe and established wo

As we love free speech and artistic expression on the internet, this could be seen as a classic case of a big company flexing its mighty legal muscles, but to be fair to Blizzard, it isn't as clear cut as that. Many innocent searches for "overwatch" led to adult-oriented material instead of game information. That's not great for something rated "T for Teen". Some fans saw this as censorship and worried about the precedent it set, but the controversy died down before it escalated into anything bigger. In the end, only a specific subset of content featuring in-game models ripped from the original code was taken down due to copyright infringem

Porhhub graciously released a list of the most popular Overwatch character searches on their site. The most popular by far is Tracer, with D. Va coming in at a distant second. In fact, the whole top ten is dominated by female characters, with the exception of Lucio, who is placed at

While the game does lack single-player offerings when it comes down to a campaign or story mode...I'm not entirely sure that Overwatch even needs it. That may be an unpopular opinion in the day of age of multiplayer-only games, yet I've gotten far more out of the game's universe and world-building from simply playing the game rather than going through a single-player campaign or experience that may have distracted from the game's excellent multiplayer experience and characters, if it had

The details of the original fight between Hanzo and Genji are sketchy at best. It is believed that the two had a sword fight, with Hanzo overpowering his brother. The reason this is believed is because the creators of Overwatch have outright said that Hanzo is a better swordsman than Genji. He likely stopped using a sword after almost killing his brother with

With Diablo 2 having been released all the way back in 2000, action RPG fans had been waiting for Diablo 3 with feverish excitement. So it was of little surprise that when the game released in 2012, it set a new record for the fastest selling PC game ever, with over 3.5 million copies sold in 24 hours. It was just a shame that only a small number could actually play

Overwatch shipped with 21 playable characters, but subsequent updates added support sniper Ana and sneaky hacker Sombra to the fray. More characters are expected in the future, with rumors currently flying around about actor and expert shouter Terry Crews voicing Doomfist, one of several arch villains of the Overwatch universe only referenced in hushed tones thus far. With such a diverse gallery, it's interesting to find out where some of these dynamic characters came from in the first pl

More than any other FPS Game guide I can think of in the past few years like it, Overwatch is one of the most welcoming and inclusive competitive games I've ever been able to enjoy and play regularly. Compared to many other competitive gaming experiences that require players to sink dozens (or hundreds) of hours into the game to grasp its nuances and strategies, Overwatch truly embraces its ability to not only get players started with the core concepts easily, but how it allows players of all abilities and skill levels to contribute and play their part in the t

In an update on Battle.net, Blizzard has provided the latest patch notes and updates for Overwatch , with the main highlight for the week being the addition of Orisa, the game's newest Hero. In addition to Orisa's debut in the game (after several weeks of testing on the game's PTR server), Blizzard also introduced various other updates and changes to the game for specific characters, such as Ana, Bastion, Junkrat, and m

_Developer Comments: Zenyatta’s alternate fire often felt too difficult to use due to its long recovery time. This reduction should make it a more viable option. Also, his weapon has always had a very small amount of spread. This wasn’t enough to change the way he was played, but it would occasionally cause shots to miss that would normally hit their target. Removing this small variance should help him feel more consistent. _ ** BUG FIXES ** Gen
