While we don't know for certain that the game is actually in development, its release will likely make a splash across the gaming industry, especially if it goes free to play, or manages to add in some new feature that no one's ever thought of. Plus, its eSports scene could become an even bigger deal, which will just pour more cash into the coffers of Blizzard and Activis
One of the most anticipated features has to be Sojourn, a brand-new hero coming to Overwatch 2. She's extremely unique when it comes to her weapon and combat style, and since fans have seen her in several comics and Archives missions, it's only natural that she's the first new hero to be announced for Blizzard's upcoming sequel. Here's what's known about Sojourn so far, as of May 2
The two things really go hand in hand, as the new game drives people over to watch the OWL, while the OWL playing the new game can convince people to buy it. Overwatch 2 will probably bump up the amount of promotions for the OWL, giving out in-game currency, skins, or other prizes for watching. With a new game out, more money than ever will be pumped into new tournaments. You should expect to see a whole lot more eSports integrat
Fans who favor snipe-happy heroes such as Widowmaker might cry foul here. Yet, the more grounded, less mobile majority that includes Moira, Reinhardt, and Zenyatta (to name a few) tend to have a rough time with this expansive, open-ended map. The towering high ledges and open areas make it tough to mount successful defensives—or to navigate with much efficiency at a
While Team Fortress 2 held a certain amount of popularity, the hero shooter genre really didn't take off until the release of Overwatch . It succeeded where other games failed, and that could be chalked up to the quality product that Blizzard managed to cre
Sojourn has been theorized to also join Overwatch again after laying low during its downtime. Her addition as a new hero in Overwatch 2 is perfect since it also marks her return as a member of the Overwatch team. It's likely that the events in Paris serve as an inspiration for her to return to the faction, along with other her
This is an enjoyable, well-crafted Hybrid map to tangle in, particularly for more defensively-minded players, who can utilize the solid chokepoint under the bridge which leads to the initial capture po
One aspect of Overwatch is its diversity. Heroes come from all countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Canada was one of the countries that Blizzard wanted to have a hero from. This could also be because of the Overwatch League, which has two Canadian teams, the Toronto Defiant and Vancouver Tit
It's been a strange week of ups and downs for Sonic. Netflix announced that its upcoming 3D animated series will be called Sonic Prime and is coming to the streaming service in 2022. Meanwhile, several long-time voice actors from the series revealed that they won't be returning to their signature roles. Roger Craig Smith , Colleen O’Shaughnessey , and Cindy Robinson have revealed that they won't be returning to voice Sonic, Tails, and Amy in Sonic Prime. Luckily, Eggman voice actor Mike Pollock has confirmed that he will continue to voice the villain in video games but did not confirm whether he would perform Robotnik in the Netflix Ser
When it comes to the hero shooter, few have managed to compare to Overwatch. Yet many are now taking the idea of the genre and applying it to other games in other ways. The genre is evolving, so don't be surprised if the next big FPS, or action game has a Tracer or Reaper of their very
It's hard to beat Orisa, and if the enemy team has one — it may be useful to counter fire with fire. Orisa is a monstrous tank and easily holds the title for those seeking Overwatch's 2 best tanks. Her weapon, the Augmented Fusion Driver , is a heat-based weapon that can be shot near endlessly and deals incredible damage at close range. The Energy Javelin can impale enemies for great damage, and cancel them out of their abilities and ultima
A lot of hero shooters will probably try to follow suit, combining with other genres in an effort to stand out. It's already kind of happening, with games like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege , Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 , or the upcoming Bleeding Edge all taking cues from hero shooters, and adding them into their own games. Even the juggernaut Fortnite has instantly recognizable skins beloved by the community, which are sold as everything from action figures to Halloween costu
Overwatch has consistently been one of the most popular games in the world for the past 3 years. It's still often at the top of the most viewed streams on Twitch, has thousands of players who log on daily, and even has its own eSports lea
A high-risk and high-reward tank, Doomfist isn't an easy character to learn more, but he sure is fun. Players can take that element of fun and turn Doomfist into a monster, thanks to his fast abilities, which will see him bully other smaller targets like attackers and support. Doomfist can easily get behind targets, using an assortment of slams, punches, and his hand cannon to delete the health of his f
