It's a very exciting time to be a Blizzard fan and Gamescom 2015 in Cologne has provided some excellent teasers and announcements for Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, Hearthstone and Starcraft 2. With tomorrow's report on the new World of Warcraft expansion still to come we've still got plenty of excitement for the upcoming weekend.
In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.
The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.
As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.
Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.
Nexon has entered a publishing agreement with Blizzard for Overwatch in Korea, with the companies working to deliver services 'tailored' for the region.
On March 17, CATACLYSM descends on Hearthstone, bringing back the fan‑favorite destroyer, Deathwing. Only this time, he’s not the Worldbreaker you remember. In the final moments of Across the Timeways, Murozond refused to accept defeat from Chromie and the Heroes of Time, so he smashed the Hourglass of Time and opened a portal to a nightmare timeline where Deathwing never fell. Now this undefeated Deathwing is invading Azeroth with six terrifying Lieutenants, and they’re ready to break the world all over again!
Starcraft!!! WoW announcement!!! spoilt for choice!
