![]() They’ve also mentioned new co-op maps coming soon. ![]() And those infested battlecruisers look pretty sweet. We’re short on details on exactly how Stukov is going to play at the moment, but it’s good to see more ambitious updates to co-op regardless. He would count as a Zerg commander, I suppose, but he seems to be very unique, based mainly on infested versions of Terran buildings and units. Second, fan favourite and eternal badass Alexei Stukov has been confirmed as the next playable commander in co-op. More Nova is always good, and now that all three parts are out, I can finally play through it. StarCraft II is the only game coming out of this BlizzCon’s opening ceremony to offer me anything approaching genuine excitement, which is a sad commentary on the whole convention.įirstly, the final installment of the Nova DLC was confirmed to be launching on November 22 (appropriately enough), which is welcome news. They also announced a new “arcade” mode that mostly seems to involve death match arenas, some new maps, and an ambitious new eSports league, but again, not really interesting me. Now at ten females, twelve males, one non-gendered. Both characters added post-launch have been women of colour, and the game’s cast is now close to perfect gender parity, as well. I do appreciate that they are maintaining their commitment to diversity in Overwatch, if nothing else. That said, Blizzard’s continued reticence to do anything with the Overwatch IP is making it increasingly hard for me to get excited about anything to do with the game. She has an agenda of her own and seems to be playing both sides - her loyalty to Talon seems far from absolute. Sombra looks a lot more interesting than Overwatch’s other antagonists to date. They began with a retrospective video of Overwatch’s launch, only for Sombra to hack the feed - I genuinely thought the stream was crashing for a bit - and for that to dovetail into a new animated short introducing Sombra as she aids her Talon allies in attacking Volskaya Industries. I’ll give them some credit for announcing her in a pretty dramatic way. They began with the announcement we all knew was coming: The hacker Sombra will be the next playable character in Overwatch. Overwatch: The worst kept secret in gaming Certainly the most disappointing since I’ve started following it closely. Instead, it’s turned out to be perhaps the most disappointing BlizzCon to date. BlizzCon is always exciting, and after some of the hints we’ve seen, I was expecting some really huge news. I woke up today feeling like it was Christmas morning.
