BlizzCon 2015: Overwatch shows off three new heroes and Origin Edition bonuses

November 6, 2015 63 Comments


It’s been about a year since we first heard of Overwatch at last year’s BlizzCon. Since then, the beta has kicked off, and as of Tuesday, 82,000 matches had been played with an average length of about 7 minutes. But you don’t have to be limited to playing on your PC, as today’s panel and opening ceremonies confirmed that the game is coming to consoles. Developers have stated that Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players will be on separate servers rather than being stuck in the same pool.
Players can now purchase the game’s Origin Edition, which includes five special skins for existing heroes from earlier in their histories and an assortment of bonuses for other titles. Diablo III players will gain a pair of Mercy-style wings, StarCraft II players gain portraits, Hearthstone gets a new cardback, and World of Warcraft players get a baby Winston pet. Meanwhile, Heroes of the Storm players can look forward to Tracer joining the game’s lineup, although she’s very early in development.
Three new heroes were also on display. Mei is a climatologist wielding an ice gun and armored in a heavy parka, serving as a defensive character. Genji is Hanzo’s brother, an offense-oriented character with high mobility and lethal sword strikes in melee range. D. Va is a former pro gamer, piloting a mech and able to jump out of her mech when necessary. You can check out videos and screenshots below.

oh you must mean the pic and article in the middle of my post. from massivelyOp's site .

It say's in his solo pic URL he's called "Strike Commander Morrison" he's the other soldier like character(sorry the the origin) of Soldier: 76 <<(who was the leader over watch's heroes) which there is game play of Soldier: 76.

but there still has yet to be much game play of S.C. Morrison yet. So he's an alternate skin with minor different skill styles but technically the same character

Overwatch panel confirms gay characters, teases Blizzneyland

Just because Overwatch will be a team-based shooter doesn&#8217;t mean that it lacks a story. On the contrary, Blizzard said that the game will boast a rich narrative that will illuminate the histories and personalities of each characters.
At BlizzCon this past weekend, the developers on the Overwatch panel confirmed that some of the game&#8217;s heroes will be gay, although they aren&#8217;t saying which ones yet. The devs did say that they will be revealing more about all of the characters and world through comic books, animated shorts, and additional cinematics. There were even hints about a possible map called &#8220;Blizzneyland,&#8221; although whether or not the studio is truly serious about this remains to be seen.
Overwatch will be released in spring 2016. You can watch the full BlizzCon panel after the jump!

This news excites me. I've been watching Blizzard dodging questions about LGBTQIA representation in their games for years, so now getting a definitive yes is very heartening.

I wonder who it will be? Zarya would be a little too stereotypical, it seems irrelevant to the non-human characters and Junkrat and Roadhog are really just agents of chaos at the moment with little depth compared to the others that I can see. So I'd rather it wasn't them. But anyone else I would be thrilled to see. Would even be happy for Zarya to be gay providing she wasn't the only one.

I've been shipping TracerxMercy for a while now, and I'd also like one of the tough grizzled guys like McCree or Soldier 76 to be gay just to mix things up. bisexual McCree please.
