Jeff Kaplan, the main person behind Overwatch has taken into Blizzcon 2017 to talk about recent game developments. As many have speculated multiple times, a new hero was shown in the Support category. Not only that, but there was a showcasing of a new map and cinematic expanding on the game’s lore.

Let’s start with the easiest thing to talk about, Blizzard World. The map is going to be a tribute to most of the Blizzard games including Starcraft, Heroes of the Storm and World of Warcraft. Where players will be able to explore a hybrid-type map that includes rollercoasters, arcades and hours of fun. Not even Tracer can wait to see what the surprises in store are going to be.

We continue with the new character for Overwatch that will be joining the ranks as a Support Character. Her name is Moira O’Deorain and she’s going to be a Talon Geneticist with powers that are a mixture of Mercy, Zenyatta and Symmetra.

This character comes with a Character Origin Story clip and Gameplay Trailer. The Geneticist will aid and help in the battle with her healing capabilities. She has orbs that can either damage enemy units or heal ally units at long range. And she also has a teleport option that allows her to move quicker. Her Ultimate can actually pierce through shields and heal partners or do a ton of focused damage on enemies.

Finally, we have Reinhardt’s short “Honor and Glory”. The main reason why the game has become so popular is the impact the Animated Shorts have had. As such, we are shown with another emotional dive into Reinhardt’s decision of rejoining Overwatch after Winston made a Recall.

It’s the very reason why Reinhardt became the mature man we know and love nowadays. We also look at the insight of the life with the Crusaders by the time the Omnic Attacks happened. Overall, a great and emotional short that will be held in high regard.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
