Finally, Overwatch 2 gets a dating sim and more in season 3-

Overwatch 2’s third season aims to address the biggest issues players have had since the game’s launch in October.

Apart from debuting the new Antarctica Control map, season 3 will finally make skins easier to earn for free, tweak how Competitive works, and feature three events with skins and other cosmetics to earn and buy on the shop.

Anyone that logs into the game next week will instantly unlock the first five free tiers of the battle pass, a head start toward earning credits (a returning currency from Overwatch 1) to buy epic and legendary skins from the first game.

Loverwatch, a text-based Overwatch dating sim, will launch on February 13. In it, you can choose to date either Mercy or Genji and interact with them via dialogue options. It has a secret ending to unlock, which will grant you a play of the game highlight intro. On February 14 Overwatch 2 will have its Ultimate Valentine’s Event with a “Hanzo 4v4 Limited Time Mode,” and support-themed challenges to earn two epic skins and other cosmetics. The dating sim and event will end on February 28.

On March 7, Overwatch 2’s first Fortnite-style brand collab will begin with a set of One Punch Man skins and a custom loading screen. The season 3 trailer shows off Saitama Doomfist, but Blizzard said more details, including how you’ll be able to earn one of the skins for free, will come closer to the event.

Overwatch’s Pachimari-themed event PachiMarchi will return on March 21 with a new Kill Confirmed game mode and a list of cosmetic rewards, including the Pachimari epic Roadhog skin from the first game.

Overwatch 2’s season 3 battle pass includes: 

  • Several skins and other cosmetics based on Asian mythology
  • 1500 credits to earn on the free track for OW1’s epic and legendary skins 
  • An Amaterasu Kiriko Mythic (customizable) skin at tier 90 of the premium track 

Overwatch 2’s season 3 quality of life changes: 

  • A streamer mode to hide names, chat, replay codes, queue times, and the ability to delay your queue
  • The return of Workshop scripting tools for custom games
  • Expanded custom game reporting tools (to help avoid inappropriate modes) 
  • Your competitive rank updates every 5 wins or 15 losses (changed from 7 wins and 20 losses) 
  • The matchmaker will now match you against players of a similar skill level playing the same role 
  • Tanks have had their health reduced across the board for every mode that isn’t Role Queue, or locked to one tank, two DPS, and two supports 

Blizzard said season 3’s balance changes include nerfs to Mercy, a healer at the center of a debate about the role of supports in the meta a few weeks ago. Changes to how much ultimate charge you retain when you swap heroes and nerfs to Rammatra’s AoE ultimate duration are coming, too. Blizzard will release the full patch notes later today.

Overwatch 2 season 3 will start on February 7.

After Fortnite Creative Mode XP Glitch, Epic Reminds Fortnite Creators They Can Get Banned For Exploits

While most players know Fortnite for the battle royale portion of the game, there’s also Creative mode, where players can mess around and make all sorts of things, from custom game modes to social spaces. Some have also found ways to use Creative mode to farm experience points for the game’s expansive battle pass–and Epic Games seems to have somewhat passive-aggressively taken notice.

Along with a new blog post introducing Party Worlds, Epic refreshed its Creator rules and guidelines for Creative mode. The move doesn’t change the guidelines, but it does seem to be aimed at reminding some people what’s in them. That’s following a recent exploit that allowed players to farm XP in Creative mode, something that, as you might expect, is frowned upon by the game’s corporate overlords.

While players stumble across these exploits now and then, in Creative mode, they tend to need specific player-created islands to make them work. And that means that players have to make…

Bayonetta 3 Director Tells Fans To Ask Nintendo For PlayStation And Xbox Versions

Hideki Kamiya, the director of Bayonetta 3, says that if fans want to see the game come to other platforms, then they should tell Nintendo.

Bayonetta 3 is an exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch. Kamiya said on Twitter (via Google Translate), “Bayo 3, like Bayo 2, is being developed with funding from Nintendo.” Platinum Games is only handling the development of the game and all product decisions are decided by Nintendo. Come from online casino bangladesh

He continues, “So, for example, if you have a request such as ‘put it out on another model’, please contact Nintendo. If Nintendo asks us to ‘port it to PS5’ and provide funding, we may receive it.” Porting Bayonetta 3 to PlayStation or Xbox isn’t completely out of the question, it’s just that the decision is entirely up to Nintendo, and the company hasn’t branched out to PC as Sony and Microsoft have.

Battlefield 1 Review

Battlefield 1 wastes little time in conveying the savagery of World War 1. The inevitability of death is the focus of the bleak story prologue. A burning man’s screams can be heard at the start of every multiplayer match in the Argonne Forest. It’s ruination on a multi-continental scale, a conflict so large that its location menus showcase a large portion of the Earth. EA DICE splendidly interprets the early 20th century as a world in technological transition while humanizing the war’s participants through well crafted, albeit fictional, narrative vignettes. Combined with an enthralling multiplayer component, the overall result is the studio’s best work since Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

The horrors and heroism of The Great War are well told in War Stories, Battlefield 1’s campaign. It’s a more focused experience compared to prior Battlefield story modes of globetrotting and one-note powderkeg narratives. These new tales are organized in a non-line…

And in the upcoming prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller may even be able to top his work on Fury Road. While speaking to Total Film Magazine, Miller’s producing partner Doug Mitchell spoke about an action sequence that required almost 200 stunt men and women working on it daily for nearly three months.

“[Furiosa] has one 15-minute sequence which took us 78 days to shoot,” said Mitchell, who also noted that the scene in question was referred to as “Stairway to Nowhere” on set, and that it’s a pivotal scene for the title character, who will be portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy in the film. Additionally, Taylor-Joy shed some light on why the sequence is so important for her character.

“George and I would have these big conversations about why this particular set-piece was so long,” said Taylor-Joy Come from
