Overwatch 2 Wants to Bring Back a Popular Hero's Removed Ability

Overwatch 2 is bringing back Quick Play: Hacked with Double Trouble – a game mode that removes the one hero limitation on each team. Players can expect to see this new gameplay experiment sometime before Overwatch 2 Season 9 ends in early April.

Call of Duty‘s Rebirth Island has become a map that Warzone players are anticipating to return, and after an image was shared online, players wonder if it might be sooner rather than later that it comes back to the free-to-play battle royale.

Overwatch 2 just revealed a slew of changes coming in the mid-Season 9 patch, including a slight nerf to the new DPS passive, and buffs to Ana, Lifeweaver, Doomfist, and Mauga. These changes and more will arrive in Overwatch 2 on March 12.

With the server woes largely behind them, Arrowhead Games has been able to shift their focus and release the first big balance update for Helldivers 2. Update 1.000.100 dropped like it was hot yesterday, and was immediately met with dismay and despair at how Arrowhead has tweaked the Breaker / Railgun / Shield meta that had dominated the game since launch.

As Sony’s concerns over profit margins were discussed and rediscussed the web over, there was one mantra that it was hard to escape from. That mantra was BRING BACK GRAVITY RUSH.

The latest mid-season update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is on the way and it’s set to bring back one of the best maps from 2021’s entry, Call of Duty: Vanguard.

An Overwatch 2 fan just broke the game with Roadhog’s Chain Hook by transforming the iconic ability into a teleporter that seemingly brought its target to two places at once. This mind-bending Overwatch 2 clip gets more confusing the longer players look at it.

With 7 years passed since the last game was released, us Mass Effect fans have spent many an N7 day holding out for another opportunity to return to its sci-fi world. That time has finally come, but maybe not in the format you'd expect. That's right, there's a Mass Effect board game in the works. What's even better is it's coming from Modiphius, a studio with a history of creating some of the best board games that also happen to be adaptations of beloved action RPGs. Taking a look at Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms or their work on the Fallout franchise should give you a good idea of what quality we can expect. Mass Effect the Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz will be a story-focused cooperative experience for 1-4 players. It's designed by Eric M. Lang and Calvin Wong Tze Loon and will be set "during the events of Mass Effect 3." Modiphius has already given some insight into the game's story: "It is the year 2186, and the Reapers have invaded the galaxy. Because the Council ignored Commander Shepard’s warnings, the Citadel Races are overwhelmed and on the verge of losing the war. Aboard the Normandy, Shepard carries out missions to prepare the Crucible, an ancient alien superweapon, for a last-chance attempt to defeat the Reapers." Like the original games, you'll have the freedom to shape your crew's story each time you play: "Card-driven AI and evolving stories respond to your actions – your early choices influence later missions." Hopefully, this'll make for some fun Paragon/Renegade roleplaying.

Some World of Warcraft fans have pointed out that the Hero Talent trees coming in The War Within don’t give every playable race equal treatment. Though the new player power feature seems exciting at baseline, some World of Warcraft fans are worried the disparity of themes between Hero Talents like Elune's Chosen and the Herald of the Sun could become problematic.

Expectations were pretty much rock bottom going into Pokemon Day this year, with Game Freak's most recent outings having disappointed heavily in recent years. There wasn't much that could've generated a lot of excitement and positivity among the community, but Nintendo and Game Freak managed to do so with the announcement of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which will take players back to the Kalos region for a new adventure.

World of Warcraft just revealed eight more Hero Talent trees coming in The War Within. Druid, Evoker, Paladin, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior players now have a better idea as to how their World of Warcraft classes will play once The War Within releases later this year.
