Overwatch 2 – is a Sequel, re-defined

About no other announcement was made in the run-up to Blizzcon in 2019, as much speculated as a possible successor to the team-based shooter Overwatch. This appeared only in may 2016, and is actually still relatively young. But Blizzard read it, nevertheless, not take, with Overwatch 2 is a Sequel of a particular kind in the development-to-send – with no less a goal than a “a typical Sequel completely re-define”!

For many years he was asked, and now he will finally become a reality: the coveted story mode! In the successor of Overwatch immerse the player finally even in the story of Overwatch, if the world of Overwatch again shortly before the destruction is. Players are active in the OverwatchSaga, intervention, and the roles of various heroes take to the world from the Omnic armed forces of the Zero Sector to defend.

The fight continues with the hero missions in which the Team of Overwatch is in the case of contracts around the world to its limits. In this mode, high replay value, players can advance their favorite heroes levels and powerful customization options to unlock, the increase in the Co-op mode your skills. For example, Reinhardt’s fire blast opponents can put near fire or tracers with their pulse bomb devastating chain reactions and so against seemingly powerful opponents. These Features are not exclusively to be in the PVE area available, in order not to endanger the Balancing in PVP and Competitive area!

The first major Features from Overwatch 2:

CONCLUSION

So far, I am with the Blizzcon 2019 really completely satisfied. Compared to last year, have found the developers and presenters finally your (sometimes dry) Humor, and nonchalance again. Again and again they made themselves fun of how much of the content this time, for the first time, truly, prior to Blizzcon itself leaked has been, and what possible errors you have in the past, in spite of good will, made had. Especially in the case of the Panel of World of Warcraft has been for a long time on it, Feedback from the players through forums and Co received. It looks as if they wanted to return here, finally, back to the roots of the RPG genre – and I think this is great!

I am very curious to see what the second day – and what will land from the previous Features, then at the end in the final game. The first day of Blizzcon has many of the Highlights promised. What is striking is the permanent absence of correct Release of data was, however. Not a Single one of the great new flag ships – whether Overwatch 2, Diablo IV or the new World of Warcraft: Shadowlands – have a real Release date. Only in the case of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands was the Release of the latest 31. December 2020 – but even that, unfortunately, is more vague than descriptive. I very much hope that the developers here even more in the cards. This has not dampened the Hype, but a little – know but when is the coveted game finally in the hands hold.
