The latest details for "Overwatch" will feature the changes for Bastion in the game and the "Valentine's Day" event not happening.
It seems that the rumored "Valentine's Day" event for "Overwatch" might not happen for next month as the page managers in the "Overwatch" Facebook page revealed that there will not be a such an event, but they did say there will be sort of items related to Valentine's Day which will be added ot the current "Year of the Rooster" event within the game, iTechPost reported.
While other gaming fans feel that this could be Blizzard Entertainment's way of misdirecting gaming fans, it highly likely that the Valentine's Day themed event in the game could not happen. The event was first spotted when Reddit username akhanubis posted several voice lines on the game's subreddit page.
These lines are from "Overwatch‘s" upcoming update, and features three characters Mercy, Genji and Hanzo. The first voice line focuses on a conversation between Genji and Hanzo, in which Genji asks his brother if he has any chocolates to which Hanzo replies that “Those were your amusements, not mine". The next line will come from Mercy who offers Genji chocolates of his own. “Swiss – they’re the best,” Mercy says before Genji suggests they share them. The mini story wraps up with Genji gifting Mercy chocolates, too. Though she is slightly disappointed they are not Swiss, she thanks him kindly.
Based on the conversation, many gaming fans believed that both Genji and Mercy are a couple in "Ovewatch". This type of reaction is common in the community, as countless players have often questioned whether certain relationships could be canon in-game, and some even hoping for these pairings to be revealed and confirmed by Blizzard.
Genji and Mercy's pairing have been a subject of fandom for gaming fans as the their backstories revealed that it was Mercy who nursed Genjito health after some intense physical transformation to his cyborg body.
In other news, Blizzard revealed the changes they have made for Bastion in "Overwatch" as they posted on the game's forum website that Bastion in recon mode will have a lowered bullet spread, but will have increase magazine size in order to help with general viability.
As for Bastion's sentry mode, Blizzard aims to turn him into a “tank-buster and barrier-buster” by testing out a number of small tweaks, such as increased spread, the removal of headshots, and taking less damage while transformed.
Lastly, Bastion's self-repair will will be getting a major tweak so that the character can now repair himself while moving and the animation can no longer interrupted when taking damage.
In order to balance out the new self-repair changes, the mechanic will also now be on a resource system similar to D.Va‘s tweaked defense matrix cooldown, which should allow Bastion to repair himself more effectively and not be reliant on other healers such as Mercy or Ana.
"Overwatch" is currently available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
