Sojourn's nationality was leaked fairly early on around 2019, when screenshots of her surfaced before Blizzcon, showcasing her uniform. The maple leaf patches on her jacket were a tell-tale sign of her being Canad
Compare that situation to that of games like Apex Legends . As someone who hopped over from Overwatch to Apex, I can say that it feels much more alive at the moment thanks to seasonal updates. The maps are always being altered and updated ( and sometimes there's a new one! ), there's a new character every season, and there's plenty of new events, modes, and rewa
Fans were excited to explore the lunar playground of one of Overwatch 's premiere heroes when it hit the scene as one of the first new stages added to the game. Yet, aside from its cool outer-space theme and its zero-gravity area (which is largely useless anyway), there isn't much this map has going for it. The enclosed region where point B rests is frustratingly tough to capture, and the open, somewhat barren layout of everything makes for a pretty bland experience more often than
But then 2020 became...Well, 2020. With the pandemic, I made some concessions and accepted that Blizzard would probably hold off on releasing Overwatch 2 until 2021. By that time, the game would be even more polished and ready to take the gaming world by storm once ag
Reinhardt is a team-based tank, and he's great for putting pressure on foes, thanks to his gigantic shield that allies can shoot behind. Reinhardt has a Rocket Hammer for dealing melee damage, and a Charge ability to launch himself and grapple enemies, but he's ineffective against long-range targets when his shield is down, and his reliance on team composition makes him very situatio
As a result, most of my Overwatch 2 Patch Notes group began to fall off of the game since it was beginning to feel stagnant. It was no longer an evolving experience that was exciting and fresh. Instead, it was a game that was stuck in a holding pattern waiting for its sequel to come and revitalize
First up is the main menu, which is a real snazzy bit of presentation. The first thing you’ll notice is how much the colour scheme has changed, with many of the tones updated to feel more modern and grounded compared to the cartoonish first game. There’s still plenty of room for silliness, but the orchestral score is even more soaring and extravagant, doing its best to emphasise how this is a glorious return to form despite most of the game playing and looking the same. First impressions count though, and Overwatch 2 doesn’t disappoint.
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
He can leap about and take out foes fairly quickly with Violent Leap and Bonespur, while being generally disruptive against enemy pushes and defenses. As is the case with many new heroes, this dive-centric tank has proven quite impactful to the point of many calling him overpowered. Thus, time will tell if Blizzard keeps him the powerhouse he is, or if he sees some of his abilities dialed back a bit. But for now, he's worth trying out, as he can take on several roles and give the enemy lots of trouble in various w
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
But what are the best tanks to dominate and protect one's team in this wild looter shooter? Following the latest release of Hazard , Overwatch 2 has a whopping 13 tanks to choose from. Each of them brings unique styles of play, and a necessity for situational awareness to counter opponents, protect one's team, and come out on the other side to claim vict
Still, there is a trickling of recent releases that embody more of the Wii spirit; the zany party game WarioWare: Move It, for instance. And so, we thought we'd revisit this list of the most fun and refined motion Switch games that are sure to get players off the couch and mov
You got a myriad of branching pathways and areas to flank, defensive positions, and high-ground walkways and platforms where snipers, Bastions, and Torbs can set camp. The map is elaborate enough for veterans to exploit but palatable and closed-in enough for newer players not to feel overwhel
Blizzcon is scheduled for February 19-20 and an update on Overwatch 2 has been promised . I really hope Jeff Kaplan and company have some good news to share, because they're going to need to give lapsed fans like myself a reason to consider coming b
