New details for "Overwatch" will feature a gameplay video for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, new beta patch updates and Tracer's signature pose removed from the game.
Blizzard Entertainments upcoming multiplayer shooter game, "Overwatch" will feature new patch updates for the beta version which includes a new map, game mode, features and an updated "Play of the Game" option. The new map is called Route 66 and it is based in the United States which still exist in the game, although travelers and people who like road trips no longer go into the main road. The level will feature gas stations, roadside shops, cafes and the fabled Deadlock Gorge, but in the outskirts of the are are the Deadlock Gang who are planning to have the biggest heist yet.
A new game mode is also introduced in the "Overwatch" beta update called "Weekly Brawl". Weekly Brawl will be similar to "Hearthstone's Brawl" as gamers will explore more gameplay features and rules on a weekly basis. The new game mode applies surprising and strange modifiers to custom games.
Blizzard has offered 14 different scenarios for Weekly Brawl such as "Super Shimada Bros.", "Mystery Heroes", "Justice Rains From Above!", "Arcade", "We’re All Soldiers Now", "High Noon", "Show Your Support", "Tanks A Lot", "Overly Defensive", "Highly Offensive", "Head’s Up!", "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", "MOBA-watch" and "Girl Power".
The "Higlight" feature in the "Overwatch" beta update allows players to store up to five of their favorite moments from the active gaming sessions within the game.
Lastly, an update "Play of the Game" has been incorporated in the patch update as it will capture data from four categories during the match. "High Score" is earned by earning multi-kills and quick killstreaks, while "Lifesaver" tracks rescuing teammates from a pending demise. "Sharpshooter" tracks trick shots sucg as movement speed, distance, shot placement, and if the opponent was in the air. "Shutdown" measures a player downing an enemy just as they were about to do something that would impact the game, Hardcore Gamer reported.
In other news, it seems that Blizzard has removed one of the poses from "Overwatch" character Tracer in the game as one player from the community forums complained about it due it being overly sexualized.
Another reason for removing Tracer's "Over the Shoulder" pose is becuase the character might become another bland of female "sex symbol" to the public were as the character is described as fun, kindness, teamwork, silliness, and speed, Gameranx reported.
Aside from Tracer's pose, a new gameplay video for "Overwatch" features the PlaySTation 4 and Xbo One consoles as Eurogamer interviewed the game's director Jeff Caplan and stated that the console versions will maintain a 60 fps, which is necessary for game to work properly.
"Overwatch" will be release on May 24 for the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
