Bossa Studios’ simulation game resuscitates the notion that a third-party game could be most appealing on Nintendo machines. Originating as a 2013 Steam release, this obscure title was given new life on the Big N’s hybrid console with nuanced motion controls and intuitive local co

Given Blizzard’s history with level editors in the past, it would make sense to see some sort of level creation tool for Overwatch 2 introduced. Of course, it’d be tough to flesh out the details with all of the assets and intricacies involved in building a functional 3D space, but surely some sort of basic toolkit to create smaller battle arenas could be implemen

One of the most significant additions coming with Overwatch 2 is its new PvE game type, Hero Missions. And while Blizzard spoke a lot about this new element, there were a few details in the video left on the table — specifically regarding Hero abilities and upgra

We’ll get to see some more detailed character models, in addition to a new HUD and a significant engine upgrade, which should make for some even more dazzling and smoother gameplay. At the very least, it should provide a refreshing experie

Although the focus of the new OW2 reveals has been on co-op romps and PvE story missions, one of the big announcements was the introduction of Push. This is a more traditional PvP mode that seems to resemble Escort in a se

Here at TheGamer, we’ve been celebrating Mass Effect all week with tons of exclusive interviews with the cast , a preview of the Legendary Edition , and tons of behind-the-scenes info about the making of the trilogy . Check out our Mass Effect page to catch up on all the awesome stories and details about the ser

By the merit of the title alone, Overwatch 2 would seem to be an outright sequel , rather than a marginal expansion or batch of DLC packs. Yet, the fact that we currently only have the reveal of a single new heroin Sojourn (with the potential of the robotic Echo as well), it tends to look more like the latte

Throughout the nearly forty-minute showcase, Blizzard shows only up to five players on a team at a time. There’s no explicit statement regarding this choice in presentation, but it could suggest that Overwatch 2 will introduce a team size-adjustment down to five play

After all, Activision has a reputation as the company that likes to drive its games into the ground with constant releases. It released so many Guitar Hero games that it practically salted the Earth when it comes to the rhythm genre. It’s also easy to remember that Bungie was originally said to have a ten-year plan for Destiny until Destiny 2 went into production. Considering their public break-up with Activision earlier this year, it’s plausible that Activision had a hand in pushing the former Halo developer into coming up with a sequel to drive fans over to the next g

Blizzard briefly discussed Sojourn’s main weapon during the video, describing it as a rail gun. There’s also plenty of footage of Sojourn shooting with her primary fire, which looks to behave like an assault rifle. But one clip of Sojourn, playing on King’s Row, shows the upcoming Hero shooting her rail gun several times in quick succession. An indicator under the reticle shows what looks like a charge ti

As you can see, the only thing that won’t be patched into the first Overwatch is the story missions. Every multiplayer aspect of Overwatch 2 will be in vanilla Overwatch. For most players the online component is the only reason they play the game, so if everything is coming to the title they already own, then what value does the sequel have? If anything, Overwatch 2 sounds less like a fully-realized follow-up, and more like an iterative release in the ser

Not only this, but the game demands exertion and accuracy with the durable Ring-Con and Leg Strap, which measure movements to a T. The game is capable of picking up the form of one’s squat reps, or the pace at which the player is running. These peripherals in tandem will have players breaking a sweat, and bring a surprising sense of immersion — despite the contrast of the colorful fantasy worlds wit

Still, there is a trickling of recent releases that embody more of the Wii spirit; the zany party game WarioWare: Move It, for instance. And so, we thought we’d revisit this list of the most fun and refined motion Switch games that are sure to get players off the couch and mov

BlizzConline , the first online-only Blizzard fan convention, runs February 19-20. Fans can expect some big reveals an new details about upcoming games, including Diablo Immortal , Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, and WoW updates 9.1 and 9.2. Unfortunately, a fourth-quarter earnings call has revealed that Diablo 4 and overwatch 2 tier List 2 are not expected to launch in 20

If you’re not intimately familiar with Overwatch, it might be hard to tell Overwatch 2 is even a different game. It has a few new characters and some new maps, a new game mode called Push, plus some subtle character redesigns, but it’s largely the same game it’s always been. But if you’ve been an active Overwatch player, a lot of the subtle changes have actually made a pretty big differe
