Lúcioball was one of the most popular arcade modes in Overwatch and many wish for it to become a permanent part of the game. A hint on Reddit gives hope that the sport may return to the screens, at least for a short time.
Doomfist recently joined the battlefields of Overwatch and has been stirring things up.
The question about the Summer Games didn’t take long to arise, as they were quite popular last year. It was believed that Doomfist would come along with the Summer Games.
Many players were particularly fond of last year’s Summer Games event, Lúcioball. And it seems that this mode will be making another appearance in the game soon. At least new achievements from the Xbox One version of the game suggest this.
User Ekultron linked a screenshot of the achievements on Reddit. It shows three achievements associated with Lúcioball.
In English, the achievements state:
Lúcio Hat Trick
- Score a goal, a successful defense, and an assist in one round of Lúcioball
Safe Hands
- Make three consecutive saves
Volley
- Score a goal in Lúcioball by shooting the ball from at least 3 meters high
Lúcio-what?
For those who didn’t play the Summer Games last year and don’t know what the mode is about: Lúcioball is a team game in an arena where two teams of 3 Lúcios face off against each other.
The goal of the game is to get a large ball into the opponent’s goal using only the melee attack and Lúcio’s Soundwave. To enhance mobility, Wallride and the Speed Aura from Crossfade also work. Additionally, jump pads are scattered throughout the arena. It’s essentially the principle of Rocket League applied to Overwatch.
The fascination of so many players with this action-packed brawl can be seen in the following video excerpt:
There is no official information yet on exactly when the Summer Games and specifically Lúcioball will return. However, since summer is not too far away, we can only hope it will be soon.
