Who wouldn't want to play as a super-intelligent, egyptian mythology cosmetics genetically engineered gorilla with a love for peanut butter? Winston started his journey in Overwatch as a tank that not many people would pick. However, many were quick to realize that they had underestimated this tank, as his Tesla Cannon can damage multiple enemies at once, requires little focus to use thanks to its tracking, and ignores enemies with deflect or absorb abilit

Updated on January 31, 2025, by Stephen LaGioia: Another season has come to Overwatch 2, once again shaking up the meta for everyone, including tanks. With over a dozen tanks in Overwatch 2, players will want to find the best for them to main in the current season and beyond, and with recent reworks, nerfs and buffs, a solid choice is always up in the air. With the gameplay seemingly getting even more chaotic and complex, it's more important than ever to pick a solid tank that can absorb damage and gel with the team. For players still seeking the best Tank in Overwatch 2 — for their playstyle, a given situation, or as a whole — this list will rank their abilities and advantages of play to see which Tank takes the top spot of the m

The whole premise of Overwatch 2 is to offer a campaign. It’s not going to reinvent multiplayer, which is already a successful esport and will likely stay the exact same aside from the kind of regular updates we get now. All I want is for Overwatch 2’s campaign to be a blown-up version of Archives, though, as opposed to something that is emphatically single-player or something that incentivizes over-competing. I want it to give you plenty of opportunities to pull off a sick Barrage, but I don’t want Valkyrie or Coalescence to become pointless vs bots with stupid AI. I want there to be actual reasons for choosing to play as Winston instead of Hanzo, or Lucio instead of Tracer. I want maps that allow for the kind of absurd synergy you see in Assault on Volskaya, as opposed to just arbitrary ult-spamming in the middle of a wave-based minig

COD is one of the few game series left that get away with an annual release schedule. Every fall like clockwork a new COD comes out and sells like hotcakes. Activision likely loves the profits it makes from this FPS franchise, and it wouldn't be shocking if it thinks they can do the same thing with Overwat

After the fancy new animated trailer was shown off at Blizzcon, Kaplan started listing off all the goodies players would get with Overwatch 2 . Echo and Sojourn, along with possibly four more unannounced heroes would join the roster, new maps based in Toronto, Gothenburg, Monte Carlo, and Rio De Janeiro would be available, and there would be a new game mode called Push. Perhaps the most important new addition is the co-op story mode, which will finally allow fans of the series' lore to play through narrative PVE missions with their favorite charact

Which begs the question, if everything is going to be added into the first game, why do we even need a sequel? From the sound of things, it seems like Overwatch 2 should have been DLC instead of a separate full-price rele

The stealth-assassin hero may not be the first to come to mind when picking for a PvE match, but the changes made to her character in Overwatch 2 have cranked up her abilities with only a minor nerf to her bullet damage. Against the less evasive NPCs in PvE, her SMG can crank up her DPS with a barrage of critical h

The Detonators appeared in the Uprising seasonal event. However, there are some notable differences between the image and the Uprising models, and Uprising's titular PvE mode reenacted an event predating both Overwatch and Overwatch 2. So it's unclear what this new Omnic's role will be, if not flying towards enemies and blowing up like a Detonator. Perhaps it's a healer? Maybe another grenade-tossing drone? Who kn

After getting annoyed at Competitive, I found myself longing for those co-op events - specifically, the Archives ones where you proceed through a linear level taking on waves of enemies. I realized that, for me, the joy of Overwatch isn’t necessarily tied to competitiveness - it’s about facing reasonable challenges with people who are interested in working together, and playing a character you absolutely love the feel

If you owned the original Overwatch or pick up the Watchpoint Edition of Overwatch 2 you’ll unlock all heroes right away, otherwise free-to-play users will need to play a total of 100 matches to earn the entire roster, and that doesn’t include Kiriko unless you’ve already purchased the premium version of that battle pass. That make sense? I didn’t think so.

One shot of the Puller (aka the Wraith) takes place in what appears to be a development space meant for working with various 3D models made for the game. As the camera dollies in front of the Wraith, a few stationary models glide into view; a T-posing Tracer, a large tanker, some pots and pans, and — most curiously — a torso-less
