Overwatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms.

The latesgt details for "Overwatch" will feature Torbjorn's turret being nerf and sudden death features will not be added to "Competitive Mode".

With "Competitive Mode" being near to its completion, Blizzard Entertainment announced that sudden death features within "Overwatch" will not be added to the new game mode. Game director Jeff Kaplan stated in the game's forums that the game has been in the testing period for sometime and they will handle two features that are not so popular among the gaming fans, sudden death and coin flip system.

"Overwatch's" new game mode allows players to swap sides haft way through the game, meaning that each team gets to defend and attack on the same map. However, when it comes to draw, both teams will at a coin flip system to decide which team will defend and attack, which leads to an unfair advantage to most players as the map will favor their opponents.

However, its effectiveness remains to be seen.

Blizzard has reduced the initial match times for Assault, Escort, and Hybrid maps from 5 minutes to 4 minutes. The sudden death timer will also see a 15 second reduction from its current 2 minute setting, Gamerant reported.
