A returning enemy type from BlizzCon 2019, Slicers are little bird-like Omnics that Blizzard internally refers to as “chickens.” These bots seem to come in packs, posing a minor threat on their own but deadly with numbers. Little is known about how they attack players, if at all (these could be another form of “objective units,” which Blizzard discusses in the vid

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

So many people are focusing on what the story might be, or how a campaign might look based on the tidbits of lore we’ve garnered from short films and comics. I’d like to learn more about Reinhardt, sure, but that’s not what Overwatch 2 needs to be. It needs a refined combat loop that offers you the same thrills of Competitive play, but in co-op

Although players don’t get to fully experience her wrath or her full power in this game, they do get a sense of what she’s capable of. She’s incredibly powerful and stands out as a particularly memorable character in this wonderful adventure g

Once you let me combo my Earthshatter with somebody else’s ult, or give me a Zarya who bubbles me as I charge headfirst into a massive mech, I’ll be happy. Maybe I’ll even put another 1,000 hours

Roughly eight years before the present day, a terrorist organization called Talon attacked an Overwatch facility in Oslo. More specifically, a businessman named Antonio was behind the attacks. Morrison wanted to work with the Italian government in taking him down, but Reyes opted for his own operation. He infiltrated Antonio’s home with a team that consisted of himself, Genji Shimada, Moira O’Deorain, and Jessee McCree. However, Reyes killed Antonio instead of capturing him, which started a series of events that would spell the end of Overwa

Recent job listings indicate that WBIE is working on a variety of new games, so it’s possible we haven’t seen the end of the Nemesis System entirely. Whether the mechanic shows up in another Middle-Earth sequel or perhaps in the upcoming Harry Potter game is unknown, but what is known is that few, if any, developers will get the chance to use the Nemesis System in other games — at least until the patent expi

I’ve got my Transcendence ready to go, meaning that when Genji pulls his Dragonblade, I can protect my entire team by moving alongside him and nullifying all of the damage he’s trying to dish out. I used to be pretty good at Overwatch back when I played more regularly, so I’m patiently waiting for a specific sign – that telling dash up into the air to give him a clear view of the targets below him. “Ryūjin no ken wo kur

After getting annoyed at Competitive, I found myself longing for those co-op events – specifically, the Archives ones where you proceed through a linear level taking on waves of enemies. I realized that, for me, the joy of Overwatch isn’t necessarily tied to competitiveness – it’s about facing reasonable challenges with people who are interested in working together, and playing a character you absolutely love the feel

The whole premise of Overwatch 2 is to offer a campaign. It’s not going to reinvent multiplayer, which is already a successful esport and will likely stay the exact same aside from the kind of regular updates we get now. All I want is for Overwatch 2 Walkthrough 2’s campaign to be a blown-up version of Archives, though, as opposed to something that is emphatically single-player or something that incentivizes over-competing. I want it to give you plenty of opportunities to pull off a sick Barrage, but I don’t want Valkyrie or Coalescence to become pointless vs bots with stupid AI. I want there to be actual reasons for choosing to play as Winston instead of Hanzo, or Lucio instead of Tracer. I want maps that allow for the kind of absurd synergy you see in Assault on Volskaya, as opposed to just arbitrary ult-spamming in the middle of a wave-based minig

Redheads are stereotypically fiery and never afraid to be who they want to be. This is entirely the case for these badass video game girls. While some may associate having red hair with being angry or ferocious, many representations of such a hair color seem to have proven the stereotype wrong. After all, while some of the female characters in gaming serve the purpose of being the love interest, more women have risen in the ranks of success and are being represented in new, more powerful lig

When Overwatch 2 was revealed in 2019, I assumed that it had to be nearly finished. Obviously Blizzard was announcing it because it was going to be releasing sometime in 2020. Otherwise, it could risk losing a lot of its popularity. Devoting resources to working on a sequel rather than adding content to the current game could cause players to drop off as the updates became less frequent. So it had to be just about ready to come
