Overwatch Anniversary Remix event returns for round 2 introducing new styles, colours and fan favourite skins!

The first Overwatch 2 Beta test window has closed. The Beta that was available for several weeks allowed players to test run and try “Overwatch Hero Reworks” which brought new maps and game design elements into the fray. To keep momentum and interest in the game high, a new round in the Overwatch Anniversary Remix event is already well underway that will introduce new versions of some of Overwatch’s most memorable costumes and outfits.

The “Overwatch Anniversary Remix Vol. 2” event returns on [ May 17th – June 7th ] bringing with it brand new colour variations to 6 previously released skins while also bringing back remixed skins from “Overwatch Anniversary Remix Vol. 1” again. The new alternate outfits on offer include Black Wolf Hanzo ( Okami Legendary Skin ), Hydra Symmetra ( Dragon Symmetra Legendary Skin ), Neon Cat Sombra ( Black Cat Legendary Skin ), Night Owl Ana ( Snow Owl Legendary Skin ), Poison Dart Lucio ( Ribbit Lucio Legendary Skin ) and Noxious Roadhog ( Toxic Roadhog Legendary Skin ).

Previous Weekly Challenge Skins will make a welcome return like the Remix event, as well as remixed skins, previous seasonal event game modes from Winter Wonderland, Overwatch Archives, this year’s Chinese New Year “Year of the Tiger” celebrations, and other seasonal brawl and PvE modes like “Yeti Hunt” and “LucioBall” and more on daily rotation. Not just new events but new themed emotes and sprays will also make a welcome return if you have earned enough coins to obtain the reward.

Overwatch 2 is currently in development!!

The post Overwatch Anniversary Remix Vol. 2 Skins Out In The Open! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

1988’s “AKIRA” is iconic. It’s probably the most Iconic anime film to ever release, save maybe “Ghost in the Shell” or “Spirted away”. The Cyberpunk bosozuku gang film has gone on to inspire numerous works, with no single shot being more Iconic than “the bike slide”

Appearing as part of the films “clown fight sequence”, the original shot sees Protagonist Kaneda bringing his iconic red Motorbike to a stop be skidding into frame parallel to the camera. This show became instantly Iconic and has been referenced numerous times since. However one property which does not have a reference to it is Overwatch.

Its not like overwatch has never referenced anime Either, including other iconic 80s anime, such as Fist of the north star with Mcree, sorry, Cassidy (not gonna get used to that ever), or Echo referencing the aforementioned “ghost in the shell” in one of their sprays.

Ashe Highlight Intro Concept: I think the classic Akira bike slide could be created as a highlight Intro for Ashe (or Cassidy, who steals it in “Reunion”) from Overwatch

However, recently one reddit user, Yeeojj poster a piece of fanart that suggests a highlight intro for Ashe (or Cassidy) that references the bike slide. Ashe has motorbike (although Cassidy did steal it in a short) so its not like its the most out there suggestion.

Is this likely to happen? Probably not. What with development of overwatch 2 being the main project for the overwatch team right now, combined with the Recent microsoft acquisition, I think blizzard have other things on their minds.

The post Overwatch fans want AKIRA themed highlight first appeared on Get2Gaming.

I’m back in black baby! Which is to say, I’m reporting on recent statements from Overwatch 2 staff regarding how Bobby Kotick contributed to slowing down development.

In the immortal words of Shaun Andjen, “I may not know much about fine art, but I do know how to kick a man when he’s down“.

Tracy Kennedy (Professional Rhyming Name-Haver), a producer on Overwatch 1&2, opened up recently regarding issues developers were facing, largely caused by Bobby Kotick (Professional Trash-Mammal). So, let’s unpack this, shall we?

Monsieur Kotique would reportedly repeatedly ‘shove “random projects for OW1″‘ for the devs working on Overwatch 2. This contributed to resources being spread thinner than marmite on unbuttered rivita.

Kennedy also alleged the team had to work overtime to keep up with Kocktick’s demands, resulting in various projects getting scraped in service of keeping the content train running for Overwatch 1.

Tracy Kennedy brought up these claims in response to a recent Bobby Kotick interview, wherein he claimed the Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 delays were major reasons for his leave… I don’t think Bobby’s lying here, maybe he magically realized that his lack of business skills are only matched by his lack of basic human decency.

Feel free to have a butcher’s at Tracy’s tweet if you’re in the mood for putting another anti-Kotick zinger on the spit.

Tracy Kennedy’s statements (as far as I’m aware) haven’t been backed up or denied by other Activision Blizzard staff (ex or otherwise). But let’s not mince words, if bossman says what the bossman wants, then bossman’s wants what’s driving the bossman’s business down, see?

I’ll stop doing that when it stops being funny to read those sections in a 1920s-style radio commentator voice! And on a vaguely-related note, I was today years old when I found out Jimmy Stewart took part in a celebrity roast of Dean Martin! Guess I know what I’ll be up to on my off-hours. Some have studied The Blade. I studied The Roast!

The post Overwatch 2 Producer Blames Delays on Kotick! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Recent leaks claim Overwatch 2 will see major changes to the healer Mercy. I’m a massive Overwatch noob, so in lieu of any genuine emotional attachment, I’ll simply admit that the Mercy meme template do make me feel a certain kinda way, to put it mildly… For more on the current Overwatch 2 gameplay info, click here.

The folks at Blizzard have reportedly delayed the Overwatch 2 release date multiple times, most likely as a result of violently unsuccessful attempts to fire a Bobbert Kotique, whom, legend has it, straight up threatened to kill a co-worker, but he was quick to apologise upon the recent discovery that such behaviour is likely to get you fired, so aLL iS FoRgIvEn!

And 5 v 5 gameplay? What is this, basketball? Because if you want Overwatch Basketball so bad, just get NBA 2K21! I’m sure there are some very talented folks in the modding community who’d be willing to bring ‘buttgate’ to the NBA world!

On the bright side, the game has been approximated by the company for a likely 2023 release date, so you know what they say about slow and steady winning the race against the existential dread of a multi-million dollar company being rich enough to make that joke from Incredibles 2 an uncomfortable reality!

Leaker and VTuber Extraordinaire EeveeA has cited 3 sources regarding the moveset of Mercy for Overwatch 2, including a concept she suggested a year ago for the character. The major change? Mercy’s resurrection ability will be replaced with an ability currently known as ‘Angelic Blessing’.

OVERWATCH 2 RUMOR / LEAK

A year ago I made suggestions for Mercy-
One of them made its way into OW2

Res removed
Replaced by "Angelic Blessing"

Cooldown 20s
Send a soul to a teammate, they can then use one flight to a teammate using Interact key, if not used goes away after 6s

In my original description, it would look like mercy's wings wrapped around them when it's ready to use, then mercy's wings in use.

Honestly in an old unlocked memory, inspired visually by the teleport animation from MM – Wings vs wrapped in wingshttps://t.co/NFaXfbq44m

Who Overwatches The Overwatcher:

Fans of the game, recognizing that making a new game would be more difficult and timely than adding extra content to the first Overwatch, have requested that Sojourn, a confirmed Overwatch 2 character, be added to the base game after, ala Doomfist. While it’s not really my place to say whether or not this is the best way to inject your daily levels of Overwatch 2 related copium, I think Michael from The Good Place really sums up the situation well:

Side tangent: Do y’all remember buttgate!? Probably not because you’re reading a semi-obscure Croydon-based gaming company’s comedy news pieces by a guy who brags to his friends about that one funny pirate joke he made. Can’t really blame you though, my furthest knowledge of it is limited to how folks online would crack jokes and memes about Tracer’s posterior.

On Autism and Overwatch Character Tidbits:  Overwatch confirmed a while ago that one of its main playable characters Symmetra has autism, which is a really sweet bit of inclusiveness. The fact she’s a woman is also a bonus considering a common joke amongst others on the spectrum is that getting officially diagnosed is often a cartoonishly more lengthy process than for guys. A friend of mine has also started a Facebook (sorry, Meta, even companies don’t deserve dead-naming) group called ‘I don’t need alcohol, I have autism‘ (though personally, I wouldn’t say no to both) as well as her own blog series: Supercali-flapilistic-autistic-alidocious.

If you’ll pardon a little ending joke back onto my Roast Mode though: Blizzard. Honey. Baby. Mommy-dearest pumpkin-spiced apple sauce. It’s nice that Tracer is canonically lesbian and has a partner, but shout that from the rooftops! Plaster a massive pride flag with her face shmooshed onto it over the company window curtains! Make one of those Detective Pikachu dance loop videos, but it’s Tracer wearing a Jane Fonda get-up dancing to Maniac by Flashdance! Why am I being so adamant about this? Because when the inevitable accelerationist capitalism-imploding apocalypse drops, any surviving historians will play the “just good friends” card, so let’s try and be a little more obvious this time around!
