It’s that time of year again, and depending on your hemisphere either the snow is falling or the sun is shining, but all the stores are blasting Christmas music. Coincidentally all the games are also doing their holiday events. Overwatch is no different with Winter Wonderland making a comeback from last year and packing new […]
Returning from last year is the holiday season event for Overwatch, Winter Wonderland. Bringing all kinds of festive content to the game, players can get into the holiday spirit with a number of new legendary skins and an all-new brawl which will introduce a unique kind of approach to Overwatch gameplay. The new legendaries haven’t […]
Blizzard Entertainment has always been big on expansions. The legacy expansions of the holy trinity are almost better known than their base games. Brood War, Lord of Destruction, and The Frozen Throne are all engrained in the histories of StarCraft, Diablo and Warcraft, and even they weren’t the first in line, with expansions such as […]
This could have easily been spun as “new content coming to Overwatch”, but since no-one expected the game’s support to evaporate overnight after news of its popularity and dedicated player base made the rounds recently, that wouldn’t exactly have been saying much at all.

In the past, Blizzard Entertainment has been fairly proactive in the memorialization of individuals who were involved with their game, even if they were “just” fans, and passed away. World of Warcraft has several in-game commemorations for fans and developers who are no longer with us, and now Overwatch too carries a small nod to […]
Overwatch is about to dip as deep into the fanservice pool as it can without drowning in meta references. Announced at Blizzcon 2017, the Blizzard World map is now playable on the Overwatch PTR, allowing players to take a look at and get a feel of the theme park hybrid map that mashes Warcraft, Starcraft […]
Overwatch doesn’t have a playable demo or a free “starter edition” that allows prospective players to give the game a try without having to spend money on it. Instead, Blizzard runs free play weekends every so often, and this latest event running until midnight on Monday is the latest. Free Weekends are a way for […]
It’s pretty fitting that Moira is added to Overwatch’s live servers with the same patch that once again nerfs Mercy, giving healer players even more incentive to try out the newcomer.
