In celebration of the collegiate Heroes of the Dorm finals this weekend, Blizzard is offering a major event for Heroes of the Storm players this weekend.

Blizzard has announced that its multiplayer shooter Overwatch will be getting a major 1.5GB patch, which will add a new map and gameplay mode called Weekly Brawl.

You may have heard that Overwatch has a release date, and that an open beta will be hitting shortly beforehand. That open beta happens to launch the very same day as Battleborn, Gearbox’s take on the hero-based shooter.

Overwatch is Blizzard's upcoming team-based multiplayer shooter that has already enjoyed several closed betas. Recently an advert accidentally went live on IGN revealing the game's release date as well as the date of the open beta. The advert was screen-captured by Reddit user Deadpoolthegreat before it was taken down. The launch date will apparently be the 24th May, 2016, with the open beta starting on the 4th May for those who pre-order the game by 29th April, after which the deal expires.

Blizzard has announced on the official blog that a new closed beta for their class-based shooter Overwatch will be starting on the 9th February next week. The new beta will feature several major changes, based on "field data" from the last beta.

It's been awhile since the first stages of Overwatch's beta period closed back in December in order for the team working on it to sift through feedback and use it to better the game. Recently, game director Jeff Kaplan came out with an announcement that the Beta will be resuming sometime around mid-February with a healthy dose of new features.

Seems like secrets are a little hard to keep with some video games these days. Between retailers and companies, it's sometimes hard to tell what's just a placeholder and what's a bit of actual information that got out a little too soon. Such might be the case with 2K's Mafia 3.

Overwatch has concluded its recent Closed Beta period and is regrouping in the wealth of feedback and statistics received on the game. It will be back in the new year with new testing and though we're hardly far enough in to speculate what new changes could be coming, Game Director Jeff Kaplan did share a little bit about the new progression system that will be coming in the next beta.

Overwatch has offered what looks and promises to be the premiere first-person character-based arena experience in 2016. In a move that might delight potential buyers and players, it has been announced that forseeable post-launch content for Overwatch will be free.

Overwatch's latest beta is over and one can only imagine it will go towards continuing to make the game into the best experience possible when it comes out next year. However, in answer to a recent forum post, higher-ups in the development staff offered uncertainty at whether or not ranked matchmaking will be available in the game at its launch.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate was just released days mere days ago for PC and Blizzard is stress testing their first-person character-based shooter, Overwatch in Beta this weekend, so Nvidia has released a new update for GeForce GPUs that include Game Ready Drivers for both games.

If you've missed out on your shot at the Overwatch beta up to this point, your chance may be coming up. Overwatch will be opening up to players with beta access this weekend. Even further, Blizzard will be opening doors to many more players in order to test their systems.

Looks like this time it's official. Blizzard Activision rolled out the red carpet for their new character-based first person shooter and came forth with a slew of details on what players will be getting out the game next year.

It's been a big day for Overwatch. It appears the game will be an actual purchasable game rather than free-to-play, it's coming to consoles, and it's opening up for pre-order. Or... at least it was. Seems all pre-order info has been taken down, and it may have to do with the fine print on the pre-order ad.

The official Overwatch twitter feed has teased a new character for their upcoming multiplayer shooter Overwatch, Hana Song aka D.Va. She is described as the #1 professional Starcraft player in the world.

Blizzard has just opened the closed beta for Overwatch and alongside it comes the announcement of system requirements to run the game. Both minimum requirements for running at a goal of 30 fps and recommended requirements for a solid 60 fps have been provided on the game's blog at Battle.net.

A post on the official Overwatch blog today announced that Battle.Net is working on a new voicechat client which will be included in the upcoming Overwatch beta. According to the blog post, the voicechat sytem is "still in its early development and testing stages," but the possibility of it being included in other games down the road has been left open.

Blizzard has announced on the official Overwatch site that the closed beta will be starting on 27 October 2015. The beta will be initially restricted to North America before migrating to Europe and Asia.

In an interview with Kotaku.au, Blizzard's Jeff Kaplan and Geoff Goodman revealed that team-based shooter Overwatch will run entirely on the studio's own servers, meaning that LAN play is out of the question. On the plus side, alongside those dedicated servers the game will offer support for custom game modes outside the matchmaking pool, if you fancy some non-competitive play.

Insane criminal duo Junkrat and Roadhog are the latest additions to the Overwatch roster, joining the line-up of international superheroes and villains in Blizzard's team-based shooter. These former Australian gang members basically like shooting things and blowing things up. Which is admirably straightforward, I suppose.
