Orisa Now Live In Overwatch On PC And Consoles; New Updates Patch Notes Released

In an update on Battle.net, Blizzard has provided the latest patch notes and updates for Overwatch , with the main highlight for the week being the addition of Orisa, the game's newest Hero. In addition to Orisa's debut in the game (after several weeks of testing on the game's PTR server), Blizzard also introduced various other updates and changes to the game for specific characters, such as Ana, Bastion, Junkrat, and m


If you haven't seen some of Overwatch 's excellent cinematic shorts, you're missing out on some significant backstory. In " Alive ", Tracer takes on Talon sniper Widowmaker (real name Amélie Lacroix) and tries to prevent her from assassinating a prominent religious leader. After a furious fight on the rooftops of King's Row, Widowmaker makes the shot and kills holy robot Tekhartha Mondatta. Tracer demands the reason why, but Lacroix only offers a chuckle in reply. The pair fight again and poor Lena is left winded in an alley with her chronal accelerator on the fr


I'll be picking up Uncharted 3 when it releases on the 1st, which will provide a bit of a break from Batman: Arkham City . The continuing adventures of Ezio will have to wait until I have some cash in my pocket. In the meantime though, I'll go back to playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution which I am close to finishing. Skyrim also has me excited, but to be frank Deus Ex is all of the RPG that I can handle at the moment. Albeit a cyberpunk RPG as opposed to a Tolkien fantasy


A quick summary of each player's most-played heroes is now available by highlighting the player in the Groups section of the Social menu (statistics displayed will dynamically change based on the mode/rule


In the short, we learn that Lena Oxton (callsign Tracer) was a skilled pilot, handpicked to fly the Slipstream -- a prototype jet capable of teleportation. Tragedy struck on the jet's maiden voyage and Oxton vanished, and she was presumed dead. She reappeared several months later, where it was revealed that a malfunction with the jet's teleportation matrix had trapped Lena between timelines. She kept phasing in and out of existence until primate scientist Winston invents the chronal accelerator, a device that stops her disappearing and keeps her anchored in the present day. Their time together also forged a great friendship between the two, with Winston considering Tracer part of his unconventional fam


One of the most popular characters on the Overwatch roster is Tracer, the young, lightning quick Brit with teleportation powers. Even though the game has a ton of wildly different characters, Tracer has arguably become the face of the game, appearing on promotional material and the final box-art. It was perhaps because of her prominence that she hit headline news late last year when it was revealed, via Christmas themed comic "Reflections", that she was the first of Overwatch 's confirmed LGBTQ charact

Three heroes have also seen some major adjustments. For McCree, Deadeye now begins to lock onto targets after 0.2 seconds, instead of the previous lock-on time of 0.8 seconds. With Reaper, you'll now regain 20% health from all damage done to heroes. Roadhog's head hitbox has also been reduced by 20%, while his Scrap Gun will now do 33% less dam


"Cheers love, the cavalry's here!" If you're one of the 25 million people that have played Blizzard's Overwatch , that line and many others like it will be permanently burned in your brain. Unless you've been living under a hermetically sealed rock, you shouldn't need us to tell you that the game has been a massive hit since it launched last year and has garnered widespread praise from critics and gamers alike. It also spawned a huge and dedicated global fan community that have pored over the lore, taken part in every special event and created swaths of fan-art and creations inspired by the game (some more "interesting" than others, but we'll get to that). Character D.Va even inspired a real-life feminist movement in South Korea. How many other video games can say t


Splatoon works for players of all skills thanks to the depth of its gameplay. All players may spread paint from their base forward, while others may strategically infiltrate enemy lines or climb to the highest points on the map. The FPS game missions relies on quick reflexes, strategy, and even imagination. Whether you’re building your own path or chasing invisible enemies through streets of paint, Splatoon will always challenge


Skyrim - As a fan of fantasy set role playing games, Skyrim has to be one of the games I've been looking forward to since its original announcement. I'm looking forward to letting my mood take me where I want to play the game and see what kinds of surprises Bethesda has in store for people who are willing to ignore the campaign and really explore the world. Yes, I have plans to make a two-handed warrior who dabbles in the smallest bit of ma


Built as a first step towards humanity's renewed exploration of space, the Horizon Lunar Colony’s goal was to examine the effects of prolonged extraterrestrial habitation—on human and ape alike. The scientists’ research proved incredibly promising...until, suddenly, all contact and communications with the base were l
