Overwatch Classic Has Players Once Again Killing Each Other With A Basketball


Overwatch 2 is running a limited-time event called Overwatch Classic that reverts the game to its original roster, rulesets, and hero kits. It’s miserable to go back to, especially if you have no nostalgia for Overwatch as it existed in 2016. However, it is bringing back some old meme-y strategies...

Overwatch Players, Y’all Lived Like This In 2016?


I started playing Overwatch in 2019. By the time I was pushing payloads and getting Play of the Game with a well-placed Tactical Visor, a lot of the old hero kits and team compositions that were infamous when the hero shooter launched in 2016 were more like cautionary tales for relative newbies....

Is Blizzard Teasing An Overwatch ‘Classic’?


Overwatch 2 has been in such a rough spot as of late that it’s impossible to not be nostalgic for the original game’s heyday. The sequel hasn’t panned out the way Blizzard promised after it reportedly canceled the story campaign that was the whole point of a sequel. So it’s easy to look at all...

Overwatch 2 Is Bringing Back 6v6 Sooner Than Expected


Overwatch 2 announced it was considering testing out a return to its original 6v6 format after swapping to its current, controversial 5v5 structure back when the sequel launched in 2022. Now, it sounds like that test is coming up sooner than originally expected, as Blizzard has announced it will...

Overwatch 2 Hits Its Second Anniversary With Little To Show For It


I finished Overwatch 2’s season 12 battle pass last night. There are only 11 days left in this season and it’s easily the longest it’s taken me to work my way through the hero shooter’s daily challenges to unlock all the skins, emotes, and voice lines Blizzard offered in these past nine weeks. As...

Check Out Our Favorite Cosplay From Colossalcon 2024


The concept of Colassalcon immediately sold me at “swimsuit Comic-Con,” and it had me for life after I got a look at all the incredible cosplay at the event. The Texas-based con took place this August, spread out across three days at the Kalahari Resorts in Round Rock. As such, most of the costumes...

Overwatch 2 Celebrates World Of Warcraft With New Crossover Event


Overwatch 2’s collaborations have spanned external sources like anime, multimedia franchises, and K-pop groups, but Blizzard is once again going back to its own treasure trove for the game’s next set of themed skins. The studio already did a Diablo crossover last year, and this time Overwatch 2...

Hands-On: Marvel Rivals Does Right By Captain America And Winter Soldier


I’ve enjoyed every game I’ve played in NetEase’s Marvel Rivals. The comic book take on the hero shooter genre is a lot of fun, even if it takes some blatant inspiration from Overwatch. It feels less sanded down and polished than its obvious competitor, but that opens it up to chaos and fun plays...

Overwatch 2 Fans Are Tired Of Blizzard Playing Favorites


Overwatch 2 has a lot of heroes on its roster. With Juno, the Martian support character joining the game in season 12, the hero shooter now has 41 different heroes for players to choose from. Spreading the love equally between all of them as far as skins and other cosmetics go is a tall order,...

Marvel Rivals Feels Like Overwatch Without All The Baggage


I have over 1000 hours in Overwatch, but only about a dozen hours in Marvel Rivals, the megalithic comic makers’ attempt to cash in on Blizzard’s once-winning formula. In all the matches I’ve played in the game’s beta as the Guardians of the Galaxy leader Star-Lord alongside other heroes...

Overwatch 2 Is Trapped In A Crisis Of Its Own Making


Today Blizzard published a lengthy Overwatch 2 Director’s Take addressing the Reinhardt-sized elephant in the room: whether or not the sequel should revert back to the original game’s 6v6 format. Written by game director Aaron Keller, the massive blog post traces back to Overwatch 1 and the major...

These Transformers Didn't Make The Cut For Blizzard's Overwatch 2 Crossover


Overwatch 2 just launched its Transformers crossover skins as part of its midseason update. Even as someone who is pretty burnt out on Overwatch doing crossovers while its own lore and story are being left to die, I have to admit Blizzard’s artists killed it on this one. Reinhardt, Ramattra...

Overwatch 2 Heroes As Transformers Look Pretty Sick, Actually


Overwatch 2’s latest collaboration gives four of its heroes skins based on Transformers. It started with a comic that seems to actually canonize the robots in disguise within Blizzard’s universe, rather than simply letting its characters “cosplay” something from a different property as it did with...

How A Skibidi Toilet Overwatch 2 Meme Ended Up On A Times Square Billboard


If you happened to be passing through Times Square in Manhattan on Monday, June 24 at 10 p.m. Eastern Time, you might have seen some images of Venture, the newest hero from Overwatch 2 ,on one of the big screens. The digital billboards included pics of the drill-sporting, non-binary archeologist...

Overwatch 2 Teases Transformers Collaboration Ahead Of Season 11


Overwatch 2’s eleventh season begins on Thursday, June 20, and this time around Blizzard is going with what looks like a Power Rangers tribute theme this season. But that’s not the only thing poking at millennial nostalgia, as Blizzard is teasing that a Transformers collaboration is in...
