Apart from adding Ana to be a playable character in the PS4 and Xbox One versions of "Overwatch," Blizzard also rolled out some hero balancing updates, Polygon reported. Some console players have experienced issues with their "Overwatch" gameplay using Ana. However, Express noted that the issues have been fixed. There are now 22 playable characters in "Overwatch" with the addition of Ana.
In the July patch of "Overwatch," Blizzard has brought some changes to the game in terms of overall gameplay and the Competitive Play as well. In the Competitive Play ranked matches, both teams will only have one hero of its kind, meaning duplicates will no longer be allowed.
The long-awaited buff for "Overwatch" tank D.Va has also been released. Her Defense Matrix was upgraded so that players can use it often by lessening its cooldown to 1 second. D.Va is also made invulnerable to her own Self-Destruct ability.
Two 'Overwatch' Graphic Novels to be Released 2017
There will be two "Overwatch" graphic novels that will be released next year, according to Blizzard and Dark Horse Comics. The first graphic novel will be based on the story of "Overwatch" and it will be released in April 2017, GameSpot reported. It will basically contain the story of the original Overwatch team.
Another graphic novel will be called The Art of Overwatch and it will basically be an artbook. According to the outlet, the artbook will contain concept art that didn't make it to the final "Overwatch" design. It is rumored to be released by summer next year.
Engadget reports that Blizzard didn't want to spoonfeed its players with the full lore and story of "Overwatch." They want them to make their own assumptions and ideas based on the hints and information they presented.
