A recent blog post from Blizzard has revealed that Overwatch 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular hero shooter, will feature dynamic weather.
The climb continues as a new Hero rises and the fight for a better future pushes Overwatch higher than ever.
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.
you'd think they'd test it before pushing it live, lol.
that being said, clearly it's not running as intended.
They know it for sure. Maybe they didn't finish optimizing the game by the targeted release date. That's why they released the Switch 1 30fps version first. XD
Welcome to a new era. Follow the first fully-connected narrative arc in Overwatch history, play five new Heroes in Season 1, and enjoy expansive gameplay updates when Vendetta’s reign begins on Feb. 10.
Pretty interesting feature, I wonder how that will impact the performance
nice write up, hope to see how it will play out
Don't really care for Overwatch, but that's a nice feature they're adding for sure. More games need dynamic weather and day/night cycles. Adds so much more life to the game's world when you do that.
Has there been a bigger buzzword in AAA gaming in the last 10 years than "Dynamic Weather"?
