New heroes and a new map for Overwatch – PAX East 2015
After 17 years in Starcraft; Warcraft; Diablo universe, Blizzard it’s making a new game, in a whole new universe. Overwatch, the latest addition to their roster, it’s going to be a PvP arena shooter filled with a whole bunch of new heroes, because every once in a while you’ll get bored of the same heroes from all their other games, This game is supposed to embrace the hard-core fans of FPS players and at the same time to be more accessible to a wider audience. I guess that’s why the game looks like a childish game but they assured us that it’s gonna deliver the action and the depth of a shooter game.
At this event PAX, showed us some cool new heroes and a whole new map about which I’m gonna tell you a little bit later.
This is the first hero that Blizzard showed us at PAX. McCree was originally a member of the Deadlock Gang, trafficking military hardware and weapons in the American Southwest region. Overwatch operation caught him eventually, and the division gave him a choice, either join Blackwatch or a life in a maximum-security prison. After all the wrongs he made he came to his right mind and decided to atone for his past sins. He didn’t want to take part in the Blackwatch overtake so he decided to walk away from it and disappear. After few years he came back as a gunslinger and fights only for justice.
The skills that he uses are: PeaceKeeper; Combat Roll; FlashBang and an ultimate ability Deadeye. The first skill can clear out his entire chamber in a second while the Combat Roll allows him to jump in the direction he is facing and meanwhile can reload his weapon (kinda awesome). FlashBang is a blinding grenade with a small radius. The ultimate, Deadeye, is cool too, McCree takes a second to aim and after that he shoots everyone who stands in his way.
After we got to know the male hero, here is the female character. Aleksandra “Zarya” Zaryanova has a noble heart, she left her passion for weightlifting and bodybuilding and joined the local defense forces to protect her family and help the country in time of need.
The skills that she uses are: Particle Cannon; Particle Barrier; Projected Barrier and the ultimate ability Graviton Surge. Zarya uses a big cannon as her weapon, which she can unleash as a short-range beam. The second ability and the third one are a barrier that can protect her and her allies from all incoming fire. The ultimate it’s a Gravity Bomb that draws enemy heroes and deals damage over-time.
Gibraltar is the new map. It’s a Payload map, from one of the two modes Blizzard currently has. All you have to do is to guard a bomb to a location before time runs out.
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
