After many teasers, the update of the champion Taric is finally known at League of Legends (LoL).
At the beginning of this year, developer RiotGames announced the major rework of the champion “Taric”. The League of Legends community welcomed this announcement with joy, as Taric was already a rather “unique” character, but his abilities appeared to be very – quite outdated. Even at the first mention of the rework, the champion designers of LoL knew that Taric would have one of the strongest ultimate abilities to be found in the game after his overhaul.
These are the abilities that the new Taric possesses in LoL
Passive: Bravado – After casting a spell, Taric charges his next 2 basic attacks. He strikes faster with these attacks, deals more damage with them, and additionally, these attacks reduce his cooldowns.
Q Ability: Starlight’s Touch – Taric heals himself and his nearby allies based on the number of collected Starlight Touch stacks. He generates up to 3 stacks over time.
W Ability: Bastion – All abilities are cast simultaneously by Taric and his linked target.
W Passive: Bulwark increases Taric’s armor.
W Active: Taric connects with an ally and grants them a damage-absorbing shield. Bulwark remains linked to the target until Taric casts the ability on another ally or the linked targets get too far apart.
E Ability: Dazzle – Taric fires a short wave of energy in the targeted direction. All affected enemies are stunned.
R Ability: Cosmic Radiance – Taric calls upon the stars for protection. After a delay, he and all nearby allies become invulnerable!

With the rework, Taric’s abilities have definitely been modernized. Especially the ultimate ability will likely polarize among LoL players (Rip Karthus fans). For those who want to read more about Taric’s story, it can now also be found on the Targon Event website – as the fifth and final point has now been revealed there, offering a huge story about this hero. Here you can find Taric’s page at the Targon Event.
What do you think of the changes? Finally a reason to put the current supporter in the corner and invest in gemstones?

In The Division, the patch notes 1.1 of the upcoming “Incursions” update are known.
Ubisoft Massive has published the details of the changes in patch notes 1.1 that will be integrated into the game with the April update. We will briefly cover the most important ones.
The Incursion “Falcon Lost”, a 4-player group activity.
The Trading.
The Assignments, the tasks, will only be available for 24 hours (daily tasks) or 7 days (weekly tasks). These can be divided into Combat, Dark Zone and Crafting.
Dark Zone Supply Drops.
Gear Score: Every non-cosmetic item will have a Gear Score when your agent reaches level 30. The higher the Gear Score, the stronger the item.
Observer Camera: While you wait for revival, you can switch between group members using RB/LB, R1/L1 or Q/E .
Gear Sets: These equipment sets are coming:
“Tactician’s Authority” – Improves electronic and support abilities
“Striker’s Battlegear” – Provides bonuses for attacks
“Sentry’s Call” – Improves sniper abilities
“Path of the Nomad” – Provides bonuses for solo agents
2 New Named High-End Weapons are Coming to the Game
The update will also integrate the following named high-end weapons into the game:
Warlord: Assault Rifle
Valkyria: Submachine Gun
Historian: Sniper Rifle – this weapon is already implemented in the game, but will only be available for agents starting from update 1.2.
Crafting Will Become More Expensive, Dark Zone for Agents with Gear Score Over 160
From the update, it will be more expensive to convert crafting materials and create high-end items. You need:
10 standard materials instead of 5 for a specialized material.
15 blue materials instead of 5 to craft a high-end material.
10 high-end materials instead of 8 to craft a level 31 high-end item.
Additionally, you will receive fewer materials when dismantling items:
When you dismantle green items, you get one standard material instead of two.
When you dismantle a high-end item, you get one high-end material, previously it was two.
If you improve high-end items at the Upgrading Station, it will only cost “normal credits” from now on, no more Phoenix Credits.
In the Dark Zone, in the Church Safe Room in DZ06, the Dark Zone specialties vendor will now sell items for DZ currency instead of Phoenix Credits.
From the following DZ ranks, you can acquire items in the Dark Zone:
You now receive superior items with Rank 15 (previously 30).
A new “Dark Zone Bracket” for agents with a gear score over 160 will also be introduced.
Furthermore, numerous bugs have been fixed, including one that prevents agents from starting the game when they have too many items in their inventory. This refers to the backpack bug.
Two classes are getting new war equipment in WoW: Legion – Paladins and Warriors will soon swing to victory.
Mace as Artifact Weapon for Warriors and Paladins
In World of Warcraft: Legion, everything is pretty much about the artifacts that players can obtain during their introductory quest. To make it more interesting, Blizzard puts in a lot of effort to design the artifact weapons appealingly. For Paladins and Warriors who specialize in protecting the group, there is a type of weapon that has not existed in the game before.
Although the weapons are likely classified as maces, they visually resemble flails or morning stars. Since they are not rigid like swords but need to “swing,” they even required their own physical calculation. You can see how it looks in motion in the video above.
It definitely reminds you of the Crusader’s weapon in Diablo 3, doesn’t it?
The fantasy MMORPG Black Desert seems to have made a significant impact in the West. It is being talked about as the top Korean MMORPG in the West. A clear declaration of war against Blade and Soul.
In Seoul, there was a press conference in Korean. Daum apparently raved in front of a local audience about how well Black Desert is performing in Europe and North America. This is reported by MMOCulture, a site specializing in Asia.
Top Korean MMORPG in the West is a clear challenge to Blade and Soul
It is said that Black Desert is on its way to becoming the top Korean MMORPG in the West with over 400,000 copies sold in its first month. About 120,000 users logged in daily, with peak times having 100,000 online simultaneously. This approximately matches the figures of the Free2Play MMORPG Blade and Soul. This was launched by NCSoft shortly before here in the West and showcased impressive overall player numbers as a Free2Play title.

The goal now is to reach the mark of 1 million users in 2016.
In The Division, you can create up to four different agents. We outline reasons why it is worth having more than one agent.
The launch of The Division was just about a month ago, and many players have already reached level 30 with their agents. Now they can complete daily missions, roam the Dark Zone, and await the upcoming “Incursions” update. However, you can also create a second character, up to four in total. But is it worth it?
After all, all agents have the same abilities available. Each agent can be reskilled and equipped with fresh builds. You can cater to any playstyle without needing to create an additional Division agent. However, there are some benefits to having more than one playable character in The Division.
Get more Phoenix Credits with a second agent in The Division
In The Division, it’s not necessary to create a second character. One advantage of doing so is that you can earn more Phoenix Credits per day. The Phoenix Credits are counted across characters, meaning: If your “main character” has 200 PCs in stock, your second agent also has 200 PCs available, and vice versa. All your agents accumulate the PCs in the same pool.
You can complete the daily missions with each level 30 agent and thus collect rewards in the form of PCs multiple times. If you have a lot of time, you can complete the three daily missions up to four times. By the end of the day, you will have accumulated a good amount of Phoenix Credits.
The Dark Zone is the PvP area in The Division. However, since there are high penalties if you go rogue – at least if you die while doing so – agents usually avoid attacking other players. This results in a significant loss of DZ experience, which has to be painstakingly earned back. Instead, it’s better to just kill NPCs to reach the coveted DZ rank 50.
You only need to exhibit this behavior with your main character. If you go rogue with the second agent and die, only he will lose the DZ experience, which does not affect your main agent.
You can thus use a second agent to roam through the Dark Zone and bring some action to the PvP area. This allows you to fully enjoy being marked for player hunting and knowing the whole Dark Zone is behind you. It really gets your heart racing!
For this reason, Youtuber MarcoStyle suggests that you create a second character. You shouldn’t miss out on this thrill in the Dark Zone, worrying about your DZ experience. You will likely die more often, but you won’t suffer major consequences. If you wish to continue leveling up your DZ rank to purchase for example the items from the Dark Zone specialty vendor, you can switch back to your first character.
Gain more inventory space with a “second agent”
For a game like The Division, where everything revolves around getting more and better loot, storage can be very limited. Often, you have to disassemble items and watch out not to destroy useful ones.
You can utilize the inventory of your second character by transferring some useful items to him. You might as well abuse him as a secondary inventory space. The more characters you have, the more items you can store “externally”.
https://youtu.be/Iqs6WNKF9oc
Additionally, you can grab various weapon skins in the operations base with a second character. You just need to meet these requirements:
A character must be level 21 or higher
A character must be below level 21.
Both characters must have the supply line upgraded in the security wing.
For agents below level 21, the appearance vendor sometimes has other skins available. These change every day, and it’s not guaranteed that he has different skins for both characters every day. On some days, you may be able to buy two weapon skins. Thanks to the storage function, both agents can access them.
Our reader Jörg pointed out a trick with which you can gain more crafting materials through your twink: Deposit some items into the storage with your main character. Take these with the twink, sell them, and then buy many cheap items from the vendors. Put these in the stash, take them back with your main character, and disassemble them. This way, you can score more crafting materials.
These are the advantages you can enjoy with multiple characters. With the second agent, the side missions and fights that cannot be replayed after completing once are also available to you.

You thought you were good at Overwatch? Then check out these Koreans and be amazed…
We actually thought that the time of cool PvP videos with loud Linkin Park music and headshots in sync with the music had ended 10 years ago, but we were mistaken. Fairness requires saying that these scenes from Overwatch fit wonderfully well.
YouTuber Veniac Stor has compiled a whole series of videos showcasing the most impressive scenes from the Korean community. In some actions, you can only rub your eyes in disbelief and want to reflexively shout “Aimbot!”, but you will have to acknowledge (quite enviously) that the players are simply amazing and collect kills by the second. After watching the clip, it should dawn on all players that once again there will be a nation in Overwatch that will give the rest of the world a proper beating…

God Slayer may be the last true MMORPG from China. We take a brief look at it.
Testing returns in mid-April
Chinese MMORPGs are slowly but surely dying out, mainly due to the trend toward mobile gaming. One of the last major titles of its kind could therefore be the MMORPG “God Slayer”, which was first announced 4 years ago.
After a first alpha test last year, the game will be entering the next testing phase on April 15, almost a year later.
At least visually, God Slayer looks impressive, as the game is based on CryEngine, allowing for wonderful graphics, smooth animations, and picturesque landscapes. But even in terms of gameplay, the title seems to hold its own; the action-oriented combat system resembles a mix between Blade & Soul and Monster Hunter Online. All abilities can be woven into devastating combos, which cause significant damage with correct timing.
Gold Slayer presents beautiful environments.
Also intriguing is the system for acquiring special loot. The bosses in God Slayer have their own “damage model”. If, for instance, you want to obtain the special cloak of the dark magician, you must attack the ornate garment on the magician’s back until it is destroyed and only then can you defeat the spellcasting opponent. Since you can only destroy one armor or body part at a time, careful aiming and planning are necessary to obtain the exact items you desire.
The game also features plenty of platforming elements. Almost all characters can run along walls for a short time to evade dangers on the ground or reach a higher platform. The following video showcases the combat system of the MMORPG in action.

Currently, only 3 classes are available: Warrior, Sorceress, and Swordfighter, but by the release, 3 more classes are expected to be added. And there is indeed a gender lock, so you won’t see male wizards.
Whether and when God Slayer will celebrate its release and come to the West is still entirely uncertain.

In Armored Warfare, a new event called “Happy Hour” starts in April.
“Happy Hour” usually refers to the afternoon time in bars where drinks are cheaper, so everyone can become as “happy” as possible quickly.
Armored Warfare has come up with something similar for April. The Happy Hour starts tonight.
Anyone playing on the European server between 7 PM and 10 PM will receive a 100% bonus on reputation and credits, the two main resources of Armored Warfare.
We tested the “PvE alternative” to World of Tanks at the start of the Open Beta. Since then, quite a bit has changed: a lot of new tanks and missions are now in the game. The PvE missions are now designed to be more random, so you don’t know exactly when and where an enemy will appear. This was one of our main criticisms back in December.

The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is turning two years old – the developers are using this occasion to reflect on the past.
Director Matt Firor explains that the launch of the console version of The Elder Scrolls Online led to millions of new players joining. Additionally, three DLCs have been released, bringing a lot of new content. He is very pleased with how the game and the community are developing and will continue to work to improve the game in the future.
This is how the Game Director progresses in the game
Matt Firor shows on the official ESO website how his character has developed since the launch of the MMO in March 2014 until now. He also explains that he is progressing very slowly in the game, as he plays all the content on the developer servers before it can go live. Additionally, the shown hero is only his PC character. He also has one for the console version that he plays occasionally.
Matt Firor does not want to reveal the name of his Nightblade. He also explains that he regularly takes screenshots of moments that have particularly stuck in his memory or simply of beautiful landscapes. He does not participate in PvP or dungeons, simply because he lacks the time to play actively enough to keep up.
In conclusion, the Game Director thanks the players for the past two years, which – as he admits – were not always very easy. Without the support of the ESO community, the MMORPG would not be as successful as it is today. If you want to celebrate the anniversary of The Elder Scrolls Online, then join the big event!

Recently, the State of the Game for The Division took place on April 5th. We summarize the information shared.
In this week’s status report from the developers of The Division, community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Bancherau spoke about the upcoming changes in the game. During the maintenance work on April 5th, nothing was changed in the game; the work was only server-side.
New blueprints coming, items for DZ rank 90
During the course of today, the patch notes for the upcoming update “Incursions” will be released. Then we will be able to report in detail about the changes. It was already revealed in the State of the Game that the vendors will carry new blueprints, and the patch notes will mention level 31 and 32 items.
However, these item levels will be replaced by the Gear Score with the update. In the future, we should no longer refer to item levels but only to Gear Score.
Note: Currently, if equipped mainly with high ends, the Gear Score will be around 160.
The items and blueprints that you can acquire in the Dark Zone will in the future no longer only be available from DZ rank 30 and 50, several tiers will be introduced. This is to allow agents who have not yet had time to reach a high DZ rank to buy items – because DZ rank 50 is a lot of work. You will be able to acquire items starting from rank 15.
The agents who have been diligently leveling up will also be rewarded: There will be items available that are only accessible from DZ ranks 75 and 90! It is worth putting a lot of time and effort into the Dark Zone.
Regarding Phoenix Credits, it was mentioned that the change to increase the drop rate on PC for level 31 and 32 enemies will be integrated into the game with the upcoming update. Previously, this adjustment caused server problems, which was why it had been postponed. The PC drop rates will be:
Lvl 30: 1-3 Phoenix Credits
Lvl 31: 2-4 Phoenix Credits
Lvl 32: 3-5 Phoenix Credits
About the backpack bug and cheating
Yannick Bancherau shared regarding the backpack issue in The Division that there are several reasons why players may be excluded from the game. It is possible that some agents may still not be able to access the servers despite the upcoming update. While a solution has been found, it cannot be guaranteed that this will work for all agents. The issue is very complicated. This is frustrating not only for players but also for developers.
Regarding cheats and hacks, it was mentioned that agents should continue to report cheaters. This allows developers to respond quickly. They also have a means to identify and ban cheaters and hackers, but this is not a perfect solution. They are working on better solutions. The developers may catch many fraudsters, but longer-term changes are necessary.
Players are asked to only report others when they are really sure that they are using cheats. It may also be the case that the agent is simply significantly stronger than oneself or that there was a lag causing them to “teleport”. Apparently, many agents are reported who are not cheating.
More information from the State of the Game
The community developers also addressed several other topics:
More information about Incursions will come this week.
Rewards from daily and weekly assignments will consist of Phoenix Credits, Division Tech, and even DZ experience.
Regarding trading, the developers expressed their happiness at finding this solution. However, they will pay attention to agent feedback and will gladly make changes if required.
The update “Incursions” will be applied during the maintenance on April 12th. Agents should be able to download it by 12 PM at the latest.
A press conference from Korea sparks rumors. How quickly will Black Desert deliver new content to Europe?
New Classes for Black Desert in April and May
Although Black Desert has only been available in the West for a few weeks, a massive content patch Mediah has already been rolled out. This pace obviously aims to be maintained, with further updates planned in the coming months to keep players engaged for as long as possible. According to the press conference, it will only take a few more weeks until Black Desert has more significant content available again.
The Plum could be coming soon if we believe the statements.
A bit strange: The information was not provided in English, but was given at the Korean press conference in Seoul, where the Korea plans for 2016 were presented. The Korean site inven reported on this, and a Korean-speaking fan translated it in the Black Desert Forum.
If the translations are correct, then the upcoming release plan for Black Desert in the West looks as follows:
The classes Blader and Plum are expected to be released in April.
Two more classes, the Ninja and the Kunoichi, will follow one month later, in May.
With June, they will begin to introduce the areas of Valencia and the Awakening weapons.

Some other details also emerge from the press conference. They express great satisfaction with the cash shop. It is said, “Although cash items are relatively expensive, we achieve large profits from it and expect this trend to continue for the rest of the year.”
The Mediah expansion was initially planned for mid-April, but it was brought forward.
Special content updates for Europe are not planned, but a few minor details may be included. Perhaps an exclusive pet or changes in the weather.
Please keep in mind that these translations do not represent an announcement or official confirmation from Daum Europe. Once there are definitive statements from Daum, we will report on them.
After more than 17 years, a new expansion for the RPG Baldur’s Gate, Siege of Dragonspear, has been released. However, it has received heavy criticism.
Some of this criticism is quite justified. Many bugs are pointed out and the multiplayer mode does not work as well as hoped. Apart from the fact that the multiplayer mode runs stably, there are also issues with the pause function that sometimes cannot be ended.
Shitstorm over transgender character
However, these issues are not the main reason why Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear is currently receiving poor reviews on Steam. In the game, you encounter the cleric Mizhena. During the conversation with her, it is revealed that she was born a man but feels like a woman and therefore lives as a woman. This sparked a real shitstorm among some fans of the RPG series. Political views have no place in the RPG classic.
There wouldn’t be anything against transgender people, but this topic shouldn’t be addressed in a computer game. Moreover, the dialogue is very poorly written. There is even a video in which a player kills Mizhena after she revealed to him that she is actually a man. The developers of Beamdog spoke out.
The designer who created the cleric Mizhena justified herself by saying that she no longer wanted to write about stereotypical, heterosexual, and white heroes. Diversity is important, just like in our world.
Poor reviews due to intolerance?
Trent Oster, founder of Beamdog, expressed disappointment that the game is apparently being rated poorly just because of intolerance. Those who like Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear should also leave a positive review. Otherwise, the game would only be seen in a negative light because of the intolerant views of some players.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , a new week starts on April 5th with a raid challenge and the Nightfall strike.
This week, on Wednesday at 8 PM, there will be the last livestream where Bungie will present the new patch. It will cover balance changes for weapons and classes. Next week, on Tuesday, April 12th, the patch will finally arrive and hopefully give players plenty to do.
Today at 11:00 AM, the April Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris ended. We are turning to what’s new this week.
After a teaser for Taric was released a few days ago for League of Legends (LoL) , a comic now follows, which is about Taric and his changes.
The champ Taric has long been a candidate for a major overhaul in LoL; it looks like it will happen soon. However, at Riot, such announcements are not made via patch notes, but with in-game events.
The event surrounding the mountain “Targon” is now slowly moving into the decisive phase and deals extensively with Taric. A few days ago, RiotGames prepared the players of LoL for an imminent rework of Taric. The last teaser was about a ring. This time, it is said in the story that “everything will be different”.
An actor reveals how World of Warcraft almost cost him the role of a lifetime.
Superman still needed the loot
It is an old hat that raids and dungeons in MMORPGs often invite players to tune out their surroundings and focus entirely on the game. But what you could almost miss when you don’t answer the phone because the dungeon group needs help, is now shown by an amusing, prominent case.
Sometimes raiding is just more important than anything else – or?
Henry Cavill, who is currently seen in “Batman v Superman” as Superman, was asked on Conan O’Brien’s show how the first call went when he was offered the role. With a grin, Cavill replied, “I didn’t answer the phone,” and then continued: “I was playing World of Warcraft at the time. I knew where my priorities lay. (…) I was in a dungeon and it was a crucial part that I had to get through.”
As soon as the danger (probably a boss fight) was overcome, he reached for the still ringing phone receiver… but it was too late. Luckily, this could be quickly clarified with a return call, where he (more or less truthfully) announced, “Sorry, but I just had to save someone’s life.”

In the shared-world shooter The Division, maintenance will take place on April 5th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The servers will be unavailable.
On April 5th, the weekly maintenance will occur. As Ubisoft Massive announced via Twitter, the servers will also be unavailable this week from 9 AM for approximately three hours. If everything goes according to plan, you can dive back into the post-apocalypse at noon.
We will perform our weekly server maintenance on Tuesday, 9am CEST/8am BST/3am EDT/12am PDT. Downtime ~ 3 hours >> https://t.co/TZuf7lxCI6
So far, there is no information on whether changes will be made that will affect gameplay for the agents. A possible patch has not been announced. Presumably, the developers are just tinkering behind the scenes with the servers.
Update: There will be no changes this week, as Massive has announced via Twitter.
12 PM: The servers should now be back live.
During the maintenance, the developers are holding a livestream via Twitch, the State of the Game. If any interesting information is announced in this report, we will report on it promptly.
Are you looking for reading material for the time during the maintenance? In our The Division guide collection, you will surely find something.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , community videos have been crowned. This time, they are aesthetically compelling.
Next week, the patch for Destiny comes, and on Tuesday, April 12th, it will be here. The patch reflects the artist’s hand: This time, much value is placed on aesthetics. We will see armor dyes, special armors, and Taken ships – a lot of cosmetics to delight the eye.
This desire for beauty is also evident in the videos of the week. The video of the week is this one:

In The Division, there are still some unresolved questions. The YouTubers from the channel DefendTheHouse investigate some myths and either confirm or debunk them – very much in the style of Mythbusters.
The YouTubers DefendTheHouse are known for their “Mythbusters series,” in which they delve into myths from various games. In a new video, they aim to explore questions about The Division that some agents may have pondered but haven’t had the time to verify.

These myths are investigated by the Mythbusters in The Division
Can you kill Larae Barrett in the “Lexington Event Center” mission before she runs away? Answer: Yes, you can. However, the mission cannot be completed afterward.
Can you fast travel from the Dark Zone? Answer: Yes, but only at a specific location in the Dark Zone. You can see this in the video starting at 1:05.
Can you enter the Operations Base faster with the Survival Link activated? This individual ability increases movement speed. Answer: No, you cannot. This myth is debunked. Tip: To avoid having to walk the entire way slowly, you can dash into the entrance of the Operations Base. This saves you some time.
Can you heal yourself with First Aid twice? Answer: Yes, you can. Shoot it on the ground in front of you and run into it multiple times.
Can you revive yourself with the Defibrillator mod of the “First Aid” skill? Answer: No, you cannot. Myth debunked.
Can a rogue agent heal a non-hostile agent? Answer: Normally not. However, it seems that you can heal them as a rogue if you are not in combat for about 10 seconds. You best see this yourself in the video above.
The latest letter from the producer to the players of Devilian reveals what will change in the coming weeks. Changes to PvP are planned to reduce waiting times, along with new spring events and the introduction of megaservers.
Megaservers in Devilian – Servers will be merged as soon as possible
One of the biggest changes coming to players in the next few weeks and months is the introduction of megaservers. The existing servers will be merged, creating only one server for America and one for Europe. As is typical for servers of this kind, they can fluidly open new channels and instances as soon as the population in a specific area becomes too large.
Devilian will soon introduce megaservers – all Europeans will then be in one world.
There is no specific date for this yet, but efforts are being made to have the megaservers introduced “before the next increase in the level cap.” At the same time, it is emphasized that the transfer will only be undertaken when it is certain that there will be no complications and that the players’ character data is completely safe. There is still a lot of work “behind the scenes” that must be completed first.
PvP in Devilian – Less choice, earlier access
The current PvP in Devilian is still somewhat unsatisfactory. There are long waiting times as players are split into different groups depending on which PvP content they are actually interested in. To reduce this, there will be a change to the 6vs6 map “Depraved Temple”. This will become a weekly event and it will no longer be possible to queue up through the waiting list.
At the same time, the requirement to participate in the 20vs20 battles has been lowered, allowing players to join starting at level 25. Since characters with a low level are boosted in PvP, there should be no worries about being helplessly outmatched.
Spring Events and Demonic Imps
In spring, a new event is set to unfold that continues the love story between Antwan and Belle. Those who agree to help Antwan with his romantic troubles will be rewarded with special costumes – from revealing to silly, there should be something for everyone.
Also new is the ability to combine pet skills at will, allowing players to quickly create their favorite companion. It is supposed to be very easy, but will also be explained in a preview video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHI9p7Y2Rog
Finally, the demonic imps that can appear all over the world are mentioned. These little monsters carry a lot of gold and items, but players only have a few seconds to defeat them. If they fail, they explode and take all the valuable loot with them to the afterlife – quick action is required.

The Game Director talks about the future of Overwatch and how it might eventually come to PvE content.
PvE in Overwatch – A case for Overwatch 2 or another game?
Although the hero shooter Overwatch has not even been released yet, Blizzard is already considering how the new franchise can move forward. The Game Director Jeff Kaplan revealed in an interview with Gameinformer that Overwatch could also focus on PvE content in the future – although not necessarily in the same game.
They plan to work properly on the “player vs. AI” mode for the shooter to reach a similar level as seen in Heroes of the Storm. There, players can queue individually or as a group to engage in some battles against computer-controlled enemies (bots).
But Kaplan reveals even more, weaving the story a little into the future, as the team is indeed interested in developing other content that players can face together.
“The idea of developing PvE content for Overwatch appeals to the developers, and we are eagerly waiting for an opportunity to do that. But whether that will be in the next Overwatch game or even in a completely different genre is still uncertain. We all really want to create PvE, but not in this game, not for the original offering of Overwatch, which is entirely focused on team-based hero action. It’s something we want to tackle eventually in another game.”
Either way, it seems that with Overwatch and the game’s world, there is still a long way to go.
