What's up everybody this is Master Ian Gamer and now that Blizzcon 2017 has come to a close,
I'm going to run through everything major that got announced for Overwatch.
Blizzard did not disappoint this year as they revealed a new hero, map, animated short,
skins, and more!
So let's jump on in and see the details.
First up is what I think most people have been looking forward to most, which is the
new Support hero Moira.
I already made a video going over my first impressions of her, so be sure to check it
out if you haven't already.
But in short, Moira is the next healer for Overwatch and has some very interesting abilities.
She works off of a balance of dealing damage and healing, kind of like Zenyatta, but her
damage dealt directly feeds into her ability to heal, thus giving her a kind of vampiric,
life sapping design.
She also can throw out orbs that bypass barriers and can either heal teammates or damage enemies.
These bounce off of walls, making them seem most ideal for close quarters situations.
She also has a Tracer Blink like fade ability to quickly escape danger, and her Ultimate
is a powerful long range beam that both heals and damages allies and enemies respectively.
Unfortunately I wasn't at Blizzcon personally, so I haven't gotten a chance to try her
out for myself.
But, looking at footage from those who have played her, she looks pretty fun.
While I can't say I'm a fan of her visual design, I do think she'll be a welcome hero
on the Overwatch roster.
We've gotten a look at a couple of her default Legendary skins, but otherwise have yet to
see or hear any of her other emotes, highlight intros, or voice lines.
As of now Blizzard hasn't said when she'll be released onto the PTR for more of us to
try out, but there is a decent chance that it will be this coming Tuesday, and if not
then I imagine it will likely be the following week.
I'll also quickly mention that we didn't get any significant teasers for her prior
to her release other than her cameo in the Masquerade comic, which, honestly, made her
reveal feel kind of lame.
I definitely prefer having a decent buildup to new heroes, especially like what we saw
with Orisa, but I'll hold off on going too in depth about my thoughts here for a different
video down the line.
Next up is the new map: Blizzard World.
Again, I recommend you check out my other video as well to see my initial thoughts about
it, but this is by far the most unique and absurd Overwatch map we've gotten to date.
It features rides and attractions from all of Blizzard's non-Overwatch games, and apparently
it IS a canon location within the Overwatch universe.
It is simply a fascinating map idea, and even though I don't really play any Blizzard
games other than Overwatch, I have to say that I still love it!
Just like Moira, we currently don't have an exact release date for this map, but they
have said that it will be in early 2018.
Based off of the map release cycle and when we saw Oasis get released last year around
that time, we can assume that Blizzard World will hit the PTR within the first week or
two of this coming January.
The next major reveal at Blizzcon 2017 was the new animated short "Honor and Glory",
this time featuring Reinhardt in his younger days.
As is expected with these, it had great visuals and did a great job of capturing the characters
of Reinhardt and his master Balderich.
I won't spoil how it goes, and I certainly recommend you watch it for yourself if you
haven't already.
I'll have a link to the video down in the description below.
I will note that "Honor and Glory" as well as the previous Mei short "Rise and
Shine", have both shown stories that we already know.
We knew of Mei's hibernation and abandonment from her online backstory, and the events
of Reinhardt's short were already known just through the Eichenwalde map and what
little we knew about Balderich.
I wouldn't say it's a bad thing to be getting stories like this, but it just seems
that with so many others heroes and characters who haven't had their stories told yet,
I would be more interested in hearing about some of them.
But regardless, I'm certainly not complaining about the ones we do have, and I know that
now I'll have to go back and rewatch them all for like the billionth time.
Moving onto the next major reveal, we got our first look at a whole new wave of skins
for the heroes of Overwatch.
As you can see, many of them are directly from Blizzard's other games, such as Warcraft,
Diablo, and Starcraft.
And, we're even going to get some new Overwatch specific skins, being Reinhardt's Crusader
skin from his animated short, and Mei's Ecopoint skin from hers.
And aside from these specific skins shown here, Blizzard also mentioned in a Tweet that
there will be more skins, emotes, and highlight intros for all 26 heroes, and that they will
be added to the normal loot box pool.
This is exactly what we've been asking for.
While event specific cosmetics are great and all, we've gotten almost no permanent skins
since the game was released.
But now, it looks like this may be a "second wave" so to say of normal items for all
the heroes.
I don't think we'll see the number of items in game double with this update, but
hopefully there will be a lot of new things for those of us who have already spent either
too many hours or too much money on the game.
Again, we don't have a specific date for when these items will be added, but they are
planned for early 2018, meaning that we may seem them coming out the same time as the
new Blizzard World map.
That would be fitting, since the skins are mostly Blizzard inspired as well.
In the last part of this video I'm going to go over some of the other interesting and
cool bits that the Overwatch developers talked about during Blizzcon 2017.
We got to see a lot of cool, never before seen looks at early gameplay footage, even
before many models had textures or proper animations.
There isn't really a lot to learn here with regards to future Overwatch content, but it's
always nice to be able to get a glimpse back into the game's early days and see how it
got started and compare it to what it's become.
There are a couple things shown off during this segment, though, that may give us some
hints for the future.
We got a glimpse at many of the original map and hero concepts and designs.
I gotta say, some of these look pretty good, and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing them
appear in Overwatch at some point.
Of course, there's no guarantee that we'll ever see any of this, so I certainly don't
recommend getting your hopes up for it.
But, it's always nice to hope and dream.
And while it's confirmed that they will never be a hero, we did get a couple concept
images of the fan favorite Jetpack Cat.
And that wraps up all the major announcements regarding Blizzcon 2017.
Honestly, Blizzard still managed to surprise us with everything they showed off.
I was worried they wouldn't have as much great stuff as they did last year, but I think they've
certainly upheld their quota of new content reveals!
There was some other information regarding Overwatch League, but since I really don't
cover the Esports side of things on my channel, I decided not to try delving into it.
