The premium in-game store has many more spooky surprises in store for you in the coming weeks!
Moreover, Dark will be entitled from the start of the Season 7 to big changesmost of his abilities will be modified, some will even be completely changed, the goal being to make the character more active in combat:
Season 7 of Overwatch 2: Dark Rises will be accompanied by a large number of balance changes, perhaps the most significant of which is Sombra’s new range of abilities. Opportunist has been removed and Stealth becomes a passive ability, which automatically triggers when Sombra does not take or deal any damage, or does not use an ability. Her Transducer has also been modified to instantly teleport her to the location where it is thrown. Finally, she has a new ability, Virus: a technical shot that inflicts damage over time on the target hit, and which doubles the damage and increases its rate if it is already hacked. Add to that her submachine gun, Hack, and EMP, and we think she’ll be more fun to play as and play against.
Chopper will also be entitled to major changes later in the Season 7, Blizzard will detail this soon. But others Hero are going to be more slightly modifiedas Mei, Zarya, Orisa, Ramattra, Bouldozer, Cassidy, Torbjörn, Brigitte And Illari. Finally, the map Road 66 will be changedwelcoming a large sign at the entrance to the first respawn point of Attackers, which were until now too exposed. It was time to react, map has been there since the very beginning of the game…
Route 66, one of Overwatch’s original Escort maps, will receive adjustments that should provide better protection for the attacking team when leaving their spawn point. Despite the train cars blocking the view, the Panorama Diner is happy to announce that it is now open to anyone who wants to escape the scorching sun or heavy gunfire from the opposing team. When pushing the convoy past the first checkpoint, the gates will become stuck and will now only partially close, giving the team on the offensive more options to get through perilous bottlenecks. And since some of the goods in the Deadlock gang’s hideout have been removed, the defensive forces will in turn have more opportunities to prevent their opponents from reaching the final checkpoint. Additional new feature: you will be able to escape the blazing sun thanks to the cloudy sky which now overlooks the map. We can’t wait to see you push the convoy along the new Route 66.
To finish, Blizzard announces thathe will offer 3,000 Overwatch Credits to all players who log in to the game between October 10 and 16, to be forgiven for worrying about the challenges of the birthday event. And of course, we have an appointment at the BlizzCon 2023 early next month for announcements regarding Overwatch 2.
The title is a reminder free-to-playbut you can find prepaid cards Battle.net at the house of Micromania.
