The Null Sector has appeared as Overwatch’s PvE enemies for various Seasonal Events, and Blizzard is looking to make big changes and additions to the robot army. The BlizzConline showcase revealed enemy types like objective units that carry bombs, upgraded versions of Omnic grunts, spry little bots referred to as “chickens” internally at Blizzard, and several m
Revealed at last year’s BlizzCon, Sojourn is the first and only new Hero currently known to join the Overwatch roster with the upcoming sequel. While much of the character’s nature is known, some of her abilities are yet to be officially revea
In Overwatch 2, he’s taken a small debuff to his gun’s damage and his ultimate’s range, but Soldier 76’s rifle, rockets, running, and regeneration still mean he can take down both bosses and bands of baddies alike– Just don’t forget to aim for the h
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 Freja new Hero 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
This newly mobile Bastion also comes with a grenade launcher for AoE and rocket-jumping, and his ultimate is now an artillery cannon for bombing baddies anywhere on the map. The only downside to these changes is that Bastion has traded his self-repair for a less useful ‘Ironclad’ defense buff during these Assault and Artillery mo
As you can see, the only thing that won’t be patched into the first Overwatch is the story missions. Every multiplayer aspect of Overwatch 2 will be in vanilla Overwatch. For most players the online component is the only reason they play the game, so if everything is coming to the title they already own, then what value does the sequel have? If anything, Overwatch 2 sounds less like a fully-realized follow-up, and more like an iterative release in the ser
Though this mechanical maestro may not be making waves in the competitive meta, he’s often a wonderful pick for PvE. If you played Overwatch’s Uprising event, you’ll know how useful he can be – his mix of armor and damage-dealing allow for adaptive play, and besides, with some keen placement, his turret is practically a second teamm
If long range and high accuracy are your things, you might prefer the Deadlock Gang gunslinger, Ashe (and her right-hand man, Bob). Unlike the more niche Widowmaker, Ashe can step out of the shadows and onto the battlefield when necessary, where her dynamite and bestie Bob do a good job of keeping enemies at
Borderlands allows players to control one of many playable characters in the world , with Lilith being one of the series’ most iconic characters who has remained a staple of the games since the very first entry. She takes on the role of the Siren in the first game and plays a pivotal role in the story for the sequels, with her character being a highlight of each game in the ser
Iterative releases are something that fans of sports games are more accustomed to. Every year a new NBA, Madden , NHL, MLB or WWE game is released and they’re rarely significant departures from the previous installment. These games are usually expected to release annually, so they typically feature nothing more than roster updates with maybe the occasional new mode or gameplay tweak. Yet, despite being essentially the same game – or in some cases being much worse than the game that came before – they’ll still cost you the price of a triple-A rele
Updated on November 29, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: The diversity in most video games is something that fans appreciate, with players seeing characters with varying physical characteristics that make them easy to identify. This includes the many red-haired video game characters who make a strong impression with their fiery personalities and have become iconic figures in pop culture. With female characters becoming more prominent than ever, it’s easy to see why the best female redheads in video games are a joy to witness every time they get the opportunity to sh
When most people are told to think about one famous redhead from video games, it’s typically Misty. After all, Pokemon is perhaps one of the most well-known games in history and is one that keeps players engrossed in both its lore, its gameplay, and most of all, its charact
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
