Well, it turns out I was wrong. Quite wrong. It now looks like Overwatch 2 won't be out until 2022 at the earliest, which likely means regular vanilla Overwatch won't see any significant updates for over a year. And that's a very bad thing when it comes to maintaining a stable fanbase for your multiplayer shoo
BlizzConline , the first online-only Blizzard fan convention, runs February 19-20. Fans can expect some big reveals an new details about upcoming games, including Diablo Immortal , Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, and WoW updates 9.1 and 9.2. Unfortunately, a fourth-quarter earnings call has revealed that Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 are not expected to launch in 20
While not quite a shooter, if you want a major shift in the hero-based space while still getting a fix similar to Overwatch 2, Knockout City makes for a great breath of fresh air without the actual fresh air of abandoning your gaming p
It is the battle royale format where you land with 20 three-person or 30 two-person teams, depending on the mode you pick. It is all about the last person standing. You choose your character, each with their own playstyle. Be a supportive shield character like Gibralter or be a sniper with Vantage. There is a role to fit any
I do appreciate the fact that all regular Overwatch players will have access to the new content regardless of whether or not they buy Overwatch 2 (with the exception of the singleplayer modes.) So at least they're not going to split the playerbase. But is anyone going to be around when that happens? Does Overwatch 2 Challenges have enough cultural cachet to survive such a long draught of substantial content? Or will 2022 be the year that Overwatch is officially declared dead and buried as all its fans have long since moved
This week, the unreal-powered remaster leaked online in its entirety . The game can only be played via Xbox 360 emulator on PC. Online gameplay, leaderboards, and achievements are not available, but the remaster does feature the ability to switch back and forth between the original N64 graphics and the updated HD graph
A brand new 4K trailer for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition premiered this week. The remake/remaster of the original Mass Effect trilogy launches May 14, 2021 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The trailer shows off some of the major enhancements coming to the trilogy, including big changes to Eden Prime , upgrades to FemShep , and updates to... certain camera angl
Plants vs. Zombies went a long way from a defense strategy game to a third-person shooter, yet it worked out. Garden Warfare 2 lets you be plants or zombies, and your team must overcome the enemy, whether they are a plant or the und
Many big multiplayer titles - such as Sea Of Thieves most recently - are beginning to implement seasonal updates as they just make more sense for everyone rather than releasing an entirely new game. Developers can still make additional money from those juicy microtransactions and battle passes. Meanwhile, players don't have to wait around for a new game to drop to get new content. In some cases like with Fortnite , the games can even receive a graphical overhaul . So if you can update games to this degree, why bother with a sequel? It's a waste of time and mo
If you want that hero shooter vibe with a more open landscape, Apex Legends has your back. Respawn took the popular style of games like PUBG and Overwatch and blended them to find itself a successful
Overwatch 2 is a very iterative sequel, and thus many of its menus will feel very familiar to those who spent time with its predecessor. Because of this stylistic choice I’m going to work through the highlights and point out all of their biggest draws and flaws before deciding on an overall score for the entire package. Yes, some serious science has gone into this idea.
Ninja Theory's Bleeding Edge is a brawler take on the hero, objective-based online world. Each character has their own look and abilities that make you stand out. While each individual has something to offer, it is split between the classic archetypes of support, tank, and hea
Endwalker will feature two new job roles, though only one has been revealed so far. The Sage is a new healer-type that protects party members using barriers. While the other new role wasn't detailed, director Yoshida revealed that it would be a melee DPS class. Other additions in the new expansion include a higher level cap, new areas to explore, and a new tribe of Beastmen called the Arkasodara tribe of the Mata
Although the styles differ in some areas, mostly in their gameplay, noticeable similarities can be drawn between Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch 2. Besides both being sequels, the cartoony and stylish art styles match well. Both also have roles certain characters fall into, making it the perfect game to play in between sessions of Blizzard's hero shoo
You may find yourself playing a game at one moment, but then feeling the need to find something else. That new interest might be something radically different, like going from Doom to Animal Crossing. It could be something similar, like finding a game that matches enough of the same qualities as Overwatch
