Blizzard entertainment said in a recent press release-“When we announced that we’d be transitioning away from the Battle.net name for our online-gaming service, we suspected that the shift would be challenging. We understood that Battle.net stood for something special—it represents years of shared history and enjoyment, community and friendship, for all of us and our players.” Battle.net is the central nervous system for Blizzard games and the connective tissue that has brought Blizzard players together since 1996. The technology was never going away, but after giving the branding change further consideration and also hearing your feedback, we’re in agreement that the name should stay as well. Take it from the developer formerly known as Silicon & Synapse, and Chaos Studios...

In Overwatch, a hero’s ultimate is usually their most powerful/useful ability, and every hero usually has only one ultimate. Until now. As part of the latest update, Blizzard has given Symmetra, the light-bending support two ultimates. Lead Designer Jaff Kaplan discusses it in the latest Developer Update video, which you can watch below. “Symmetra is going to be the first character in Overwatch to actually have a choice of ultimates,” Kaplan said. When the ability charges up, it’ll light up as it used to, but now players can do one of two things. Either they can use the teleporter ability (the old ultimate) or use a Shield Generator that can protect the entire team. Blizzard is making more changes to the moveset. Symmetra can now use a Photon Barrier, which Kaplan comares to Re...
Blizzard just revealed their latest addition to the roster of Overwatch, and man is she a hack(er). Here’s the story of Sombra, the world’s most notorious hacker: Long before she took up the alias “Sombra,” she was among the thousands of children who were left orphaned in the aftermath of the Omnic Crisis. With much of her country’s infrastructure destroyed, she survived by utilizing her natural gifts with hacking and computers. After was taken in by Mexico’s Los Muertos gang, she aided it in its self-styled revolution against the government.

Lucioball is the latest mode in Blizzard’s highly successful, ever-in-controversy Overwatch, an online competitive shooter. It allows changes the title to a more Rocket League-style game, and is centered around the Brazillian rollerblading, parkour-ing character, Lucio, whose moveset seems to be fir for this mode. However, due to a glitch, it is possible for a player to enter the mode as another hero, which is not meant to happen. I mean, otherwise we’d all have Bastion as the goalkeeper. And Tracer would make a cool cheerleader, but I digress. At first, the bug seemed to occur at random, but some players have apparently figured out how to make it happen intentionally, which in turn has rendered Blizzard to issue a warning against the players who seem to be doing so. “Apologies...
Here we go again, someone is offended. This time, it is the Universal Society of Hinduism, whose President Rajan Zed is asking Blizzard to take down Symmetra’s new Devi skin from Overwatch, as it “trivializes Hinduism’s highly revered goddesses. Read his complete statement here. Rajan Zed said “that in a video game set-up, the player controlled the movements of Devi, while in reality the devotees put the destinies of themselves in the hands of their goddesses. Moreover, Devi and its movements depicted in Overwatch did not match with characterization of the goddesses in the scriptures.” Talk about shoving your religion down other people’s throats. Need we remind you that there is a game where you can actually play as different Gods? We’re talking ab...
