Blizzard har pratat lite mer om kommende Overwatch-eventet Year of the Dog och det faktum att studion byggt en ny Capture the flag-bana specifikt för detta event. Banan äger rum i Thailand och beskrivs av Blizzard-bossen Jeff Kaplan som "magiskt vacker" och han berättar även att den har en "anrik känsla och atmosfär". Vi kan naturligtvis förvänta oss djungel, gamla thailändska tempel samt massor av solljus och läckra effekter. Gamespot skriver följande:
"Additionally, flag pick-up rules are changing. You'll now pick up the flag immediately. On top of that, some abilities involving mobility and invulnerability will cause you to drop the flag. For example, Winston's leap/jump pack ability will cause him to drop the flag. With some abilities restricted, Blizzard found, presumably through internal testing, this leads to more flag captures overall and games that are generally more "action-packed" and offensive-minded. Kaplan added that with these restrictions, games rarely go to sudden death.
Additionally, Blizzard is launching a four-week competitive season for Overwatch's new Capture the Flag mode. Those who place in the top 500 will earn a special spray and icon. And for the Year of the Dog event overall, there will be six legendary skins; Mercy and Genji are among the heroes getting new legendary skins, though they have not been shown off yet. Additionally, there will be a new highlight intro for one of the game's heroes, though Kaplan did not say which hero it will be."
Kommer du att njuta av den nya Thailand-banan i Overwatch, tro?
