Popular hero shooter Overwatch is soon set to receive new game maps alongside the addition of an all-new mode, Arcade.
Overwatch Classic is gaining quite a bit of attention as the newest Arcade mode in Overwatch 2 Season 13, but it isn't exactly 'Overwatch Classic.'
Overwatch: Classic is a new limited-time mode available in Arcade to relive the game during various eras over its run.
When Overwatch was good and fun, now who the hell cares. Blizzard is just shit and doesn't care about it's employees. OW2 just needs to go away.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra wanted to cut back on Diablo 4 microtransactions and reboot Overwatch.
"But, his push for these changes made him unpopular with some Blizzard employees." He was the president, should have just fired them.
I can just imagine the scene between him and Kotick being something like a scene in Simpsons with Mr Burns feigning interest while repeatedly pressing his button.
Sadly any positive changes that we as gamers thought might take place are over and done with
Are people really buying what Ybarra is selling?
Remember - this is the same guy that said he wishes you could leave a tip after buying a game.
Him saying now he wanted to *reduce* MTX is riiiiich, seems like he's using Schreier's book to try and save face now that he doesn't have to face his former employees.
Two new maps coming soon and a character? Nice.
Lets not forget that alongside a new character, 2 new maps, and an Arcade mode, they are also saying they are going to make some major changes to Symetra hero as well, to make her more powerful on Attack rather than purely used as Defensive. They have not said what changes yet as they are still trying to figure out how to do it, but have hinted they may completely change her weapon/abilities to something new if that is what is needed to make her more involved in attacking games.
This sounds great! I'm looking forward to playing 'Eco Point: Antarctica' in particular. I love environments blanketed in snow. :)
I look forward to seeing more!
