Overwatch News

Hey remember that time before Orisa and Doomfist were released and we all thought Terry Crews was going to be the voice actor for Doomfist… Good times.

Major Media sites covered it lol.

he even went to visit Blizzard

And then Orisa was released immediately followed by DOOMFIST that was not Terry Crews.

And the internet was sad. But it was a lot of fun thinking that he would have been.

So I was watching the Junkrat and Roadhog short “Junkertown: The Plan” again the other day and thought to myself, self, “I would watch this if it was an actual show,” as I think every time I re-watch the video. So I thought we should start a petition to let Activision/Blizzard know that it’s not just me but everyone agrees this should be a thing. It could be a limited series or multi season show and it could be about just them stealing stuff or hanging out in Australia or how they cross paths with several of the other heroes of Overwatch that we know currently. Let’s be honest there are a lot of good characters in Overwatch but these two have the most personality between them and could really get into some hilarious hi-jinks. They currently have their own lego set so it could be a lego series as well. XD

Anyway that’s my totally non-committal pitch for the show. I mean come on it would be awseome.

“Everythings coming up explodey!” Junkrat.

Elon Musk unveiled the Tesla Cybertruck to the world yesterday. Today we get more news in a dramatic turn towards video game advertising as Blizzard will feature the Cybertruck in an Overwatch 2 mission that will involve some kind of new driving mechanic.

Elon was vocal on twitter about playing Overwatch when it first released, unreliable sources, say this was a good idea and Blizzard gets hella advertising dollars out of the deal.

There was no comment from the Ford PR team as they are probably upset and crying they didn’t choose one of their cars to be in game. Ford is a sponsor of Overwatch League.

Another unreliable source tells us that the dev team isn’t excited about adding a vehicle into the game but they do what they are told.

This announcement comes just as Jeff Kaplan said they had no plans to add vehicle modes into the game.

This is a totally fake news report.

A new development in the news for Overwatch 2 today as we find out that it will have a special game mode for Top 500 Competitive Ranked Players.

“One you reach Top 500 status on Competitve it unlocks a special ranked mode,” an unidentifiable Blizzard employee named Heff Laplan says. “This mode will be updated daily and will fulfill any complaints any of the Top 500 players have about the game.” Heff goes on to make reference about the current Orb-gate controversy and says, “things like the Moira orb would be changed based on Top 500 feedback alone because no one really cares about sub 4k ranked players opinion anyway.”

This new “division” of the player base could benefit everyone bc plebs don’t want to play with Pro Overwatch League players and OWL players don’t have to go to jail for trash talking to a 10 year old.

STAND TOGETHER

The nations of the earth are under assault. As the omnic forces of Null Sector launch a barrage of surprise attacks around the world, the planet’s governments and militaries prove quickly outmatched—and the remnants of the fearless strike force once known as Overwatch rally to make a valiant stand.  Now the world’s heroes must each decide whether to answer the call to reemerge, reunite, and serve as a beacon of hope in a new era of crisis.

The battle continues in Hero Missions, where heroes are called upon to go beyond their limits as they deploy across the world, defending cities against robot invasions, taking on elite Talonagents, and battling the villainous forces laying siege to the world.In this highly replayable mode, players can level up their heroes and earn powerful customization options that supercharge their abilities, granting the extra edge they need to overcome the odds. Choose whether you want Reinhardt’s Fire Strike to ignite nearby enemies, or modify his hammer to swing with increasingly blazingspeed; modify Mei’s Endothermic Blaster so frozen foes take more damage and shatter into deadly ice shards; and more.

In addition, current Overwatch players will be able to play Overwatch 2 heroes and maps, ensuring the core PvP experience remains dynamic and vital for today’s community in the Overwatch 2 era.
