Blizzard Entertainment announced their plans to have a "Free Trial" session for "Overwatch" after NetEase president Li Riqiang revealed a partnership with his company during the ChinaJoy 2016. According to Li, the free "Overwatch" trial is a complete option by Blizzard for them to expand the game's fan base as the it garnered over 7 million players in its first week and when the company decide to implement the "free trial", its community will grow exponentially.
NetEase is Blizzard's partner and publisher of "Overwatch" in China as both companies are dedicating every time they have to make the free trial for "Overwatch" to work properly. Unfortunately, there have been no exact release date for the "free trial" for "Overwatch" as both companies will likely announce it very soon, Gamerant reported.
In other news, Blizzard is also teasing new DLC map details for "Overwatch" as game director Jeff Kaplan revealed several new game details for "Overwatch" as he hosted a Q&A session for the gaming fans during Twitch livestream.
A Reddit user named "MattRix" was able to summarize what Kaplan said atthe Twitch livestream and it is revealed that Blizzard is working on four new game maps for "Overwatch".
However, there is a catch as Kaplan explained that not all of the maps will be impemented in "Overwatch" and that it migh only feature one of the four in the standard mode of "Overwatch". Kaplan added that they are also working on a new game mode and new character skins by the end of the summer.
Blizzard Entertainment will also try to to reduce how long matches in "Competitive Mode" could take, which means gamers will probably have shorter attack times at the very least. The developers will also have the liberty to see ally health bars for each hero.
Kaplan and his team will be developing hitbox changes for "Overwatch" and explained that in a game with such tiny fast-moving heroes and projectile weapons, it would be incredibly frustrating for gamers to hit those characters if they did not have bigger hitboxes, making the match feel bad.
There are also rumors that the next "Overwatch" character will be a stealth-based hero named Sombra as several internet sources pointed out that Sombra is being teased in the game very soon.
"Overwatch" is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
