Overwatch Blizzcon Update

Leave a comment

We saw an official trailer for Overwatch’s new Hero, but here are the full details of Sombra in Blizzards own words!

One of the world’s most notorious hackers, Sombra is an offensive hero who specializes in hit-and-run tactics. Sombra’s Thermoptic Camo ability lets her sneak behind enemy lines, while her Translocator device teleports her out of danger. She can Hack a target to reduce their damage and deny them health packs. Her ultimate ability, EMP, can turn the tide of a team fight by disabling shields and shutting down enemies’ powers.

Sounds neat, looks neater

NEW MAP – OASIS
There’s trouble in paradise as conflict breaks out in Oasis, a brand-new Control map set in a shining jewel of prosperity surrounded by a lifeless desert.

NEW MAP – ECOPOINT: ANTARCTICA
Bundle up for a journey to Ecopoint: Antarctica, a compact new arena map featuring multiple new game modes, including a 3-vs.-3 battle and 1-on-1 duel. Face off at the remote scientific outpost where brilliant climatologist Mei spent years in cryostasis following a catastrophic polar storm.

No Pics to show off on the maps just yet.

NEW FEATURE – OVERWATCH ARCADE
Discover new ways to fight for the future in the Overwatch Arcade. Choose from a variety of regularly rotating alternate game modes, including 1-on-1 duels, 3-vs.-3 skirmishes, and special rule sets like “no hero switching”—and earn rewards like bonus experience and loot.

These updates sound awesome, we haven’t had anew map since Eichenwald and we haven’t seen a new Hero since Ana. I really want to try out Sombra, she sounds like someone that can take out some of the more annoying Hero’s out there.

Blizzard has finally announced its plans for the Diablo 20th Anniversary update. The two biggest announcements are the new old class, the Necromancer and the addition of the Diablo Labyrinth (Original Diablo maps). In their own words:

  • 20th Anniversary Dungeon: The original Diablo labyrinth is back in Diablo III form.

    • Nostalgia Can Be Deadly: Recreated the events, monsters, and levels from the original Diablo.

    • Fresh(ened up) Meat: Original Diablo, The Butcher, Skeleton King, and Lazarus return as epic boss fights.

    • Presented in Glorious RetroVision™: Special ‘90s-inspired audio and visual filters for that “classic” look.

  • The Necromancer: Wield the power of the dead with Diablo III’s newest playable hero class.

    • Master of the Dark Arts: Her magic draws from the power of blood and bone.

    • The Old Skills and the New: Command an Army of the Dead, control a mighty Blood Golem . . .

. . . and make all the corpses EXPLODE!

    • Necromantic Sets and Legendaries: The Necromancer will be able to collect many rare treasures of unearthly power, including new Legendaries and Set items.

    • Rise of the Necromancer Pack will include the character, an in-game pet, two character slots, two stash tabs, a portrait frame, pennant, banner and banner sigil. (Pricing TBD)

  • Explore Deadly New Zones: The foul stench of evil continues to spread across Sanctuary.

    • Shrouded Moors: This harsh, inhospitable land has been abandoned for centuries.  But something stirs within its perpetual fog—as though a dark presence has taken hold.
    • Temple of the Firstborn: An ancient monument to the earliest nephalem. The temple is hidden beneath the surface of Sanctuary, where it has escaped the notice of most mortals.

  • Seasons Coming to Console: Console and PC Seasons will align in Season 10

    • Console Seasons will include the Season Journey, Leaderboards, and all rewards and cosmetics.

No full details yet on what the spells and such will be but Blizzard has confirmed that it is heavily inspired by the Diablo 2 Necromancer, I expect a big skeleton army and lots of bone spears!! I am excited for one, what about you guys? Let us know in the comments.

A few months ago a teaser trailer was released about the upcoming sequel to Nidhogg, and we only got a glimpse of the game. The game was announced for PC, and now is confirmed for Playstation 4. So now PS4 players can fill their opponent with arrows, chuck a knife into its groin, smash its face into juicy goop, or even kick it old-school with their trusty sword.

Here’s a bit of what you can expect in Nidhogg 2:
– Completely overhauled animations with monstrous art from Toby Dixon.
– 10+ levels of fencing goodness, including multiplayer (local/online) and tournament mode.
– Challenge the AI in single-player, including special challenge rounds.
– New soundtrack with music by Mux Mool, Dose One, Daedelus, and more.

If you’re heading to Day of the Devs this Saturday (Nov. 5th) in San Francisco, you can go by booth #30 to get a hands-on with an all-new level in Nidhogg 2, or see the game on the main stage from 6-6:30pm.
