Overwatch 2’s Street Fighter Collaboration Would Be Cool If The Game Wasn’t Becoming Fortnite
9.5.2025
I love Overwatch 2. I love Street Fighter. Put the two of them together for a skin collaboration, and that should, in theory, speak to me directly. But I don’t know, I feel like I’m becoming desensitized to all the collaborations Blizzard has been shoving into its hero shooter, even when they...

Overwatch 2’s Amazing Annual April Fools’ Day Mode Is Just As Incredible This Year
1.4.2025

Overwatch 2’s newest tank hero, Hazard, is officially launching next month when the shooter’s 14th season starts, but you can take him for a spin from now until November 25. Just before the test period began, Blizzard released the first footage of Hazard in action and a breakdown of the Scottish...
Overwatch 2 Reworked Sombra Again, And I Hate It
15.10.2024
My patience with Overwatch 2 is wearing thin, and it’s only getting thinner as the hero shooter enters its 13th season today, October 15. The Halloween-centric season is full of recolors of old skins and a lot of the cosmetic favoritism that has plagued the game in the past year. But it also has...

Overwatch 2 Patch Makes One Tank’s Ultimate Terrifyingly Busted
15.5.2024
When Overwatch introduced mad scientist tank Sigma back in 2019, he was immediately a powerful shakeup of the meta. His placeable shield was more flexible than Reinhardt or Orisa’s, and his primary rock-throwing weapon did can do damage and disrupt in equal measure. On top of this, his ultimate...

Overwatch 2 Left A Trail Of Broken Promises In 2023
21.12.2023
Overwatch 2 debuted in late 2022, and the controversial sequel to Blizzard’s beloved hero shooter struggled in its first few months. Messaging around it was confusing (we were meant to get a sequel that shared a multiplayer environment with the original game, instead the original game was shut...
Overwatch 2 Is Stripping Away What Made Mythic Skins Worth The Grind
28.11.2023
When Overwatch 2 shifted the hero shooter’s economy away from loot boxes and into a seasonal battle pass, the customizable Mythic Skins unlocked at the end of that pass were framed as the light at the end of the grindy tunnel. Unlike any other Overwatch skin, these would be somewhat customizable...
Sombra’s New Overwatch 2 Rework Is Here, And I Hate It
4.10.2023
Sombra, Overwatch 2’s hacking, harassing, stealthy damage hero, has been one of my favorite characters on the hero shooter’s roster since I started playing in 2019. Her cloaking and hack-based kit is distinct, and even after her rework leading into Overwatch 2, I’ve still had a lot of fun with...

Overwatch 2 Heroes’ Official Ages Sound Extremely Made Up

For a game like Overwatch 2, in which its story has been trickled out over dozens of disparate external media stories rather than in one, cohesive thing—you know, like, a video game campaign?—there are bound to be inconsistencies along the way. But lord, seeing the game’s 38 heroes suddenly...
