Overwatch invites to the puppy fight. Instead of a fierce fight to the death, it seems to be about one thing: merciless cuteness.
The Overwatch League is heating up. But one thing is definitely missing from the League: cuteness.
Blizzard apparently wants to change that! On Twitter, the developers announced that there would be a “Puppy Rumble” that would be commented by commentators. The teaser already reveals that various puppies are apparently dressed like Overwatch heroes and then have to “compete against each other”.
At first glance, the “Puppy Rumble” seems to be inspired by the Puppy Bowl from Animal Planet, which is held every year in the shadow of the Super Bowl. It’s about generating attention for the (mostly rescued) dogs so that they can find a new home.

It can be assumed that the “Puppy Rumble” is less about precisely landing headshots and more about a merciless overload of cuteness from four-legged friends. So one can expect plenty of barking, cute puppy eyes, and amusing costumes.
Those who want to watch the “Puppy Rumble” live can do so via Twitch, as the event will be streamed there tonight. It starts at midnight on the official Twitch channel of Overwatch.
Whether the event is also about the dogs finding a new home is not yet entirely clear. However, if it follows the “Puppy Bowl” from Animal Planet, that would be a logical explanation.
That Blizzard has a special fondness for barking four-legged friends is also evident elsewhere. Pets are well-received at Blizzard, but they must confirm a non-disclosure agreement with their paw print.
