    The Overwatch hero known as Wrecking Ball has been pulled from the Overwatch 2 beta. A bug was discovered during this current round of testing that allowed Wrecking Ball to completely crash the game client for everybody else in the server with him.

    Streamer supertf shared a clip that showed everyone just how easy this bug was to do. It seems supertf was intentionally trying to replicate the issue in the clip he shared but it is something that could just happen during the course of normal gameplay by accident.

    In order to prevent this exploit from being used by accident or those who are intentionally trying to ruin the fun. Blizzard announced yesterday that Wrecking Ball was being disabled immediately due to this issue.

    The beta for Overwatch 2 will conclude on May 17 at 2PM (ET).

        A Very Cute Hamster is the Next Overwatch Hero
        by Shawn Zipay

        Blizzard just revealed their next hero for Overwatch and it's a hamster. It's a 14-year old hamster named Hammond that fights in a giant mech suit. The mech suit can turn into a ball to roll around the battlefield. It can also turn into a literal wrecking ball. It's probably super appropriate then that the character's in-game name is Wrecking Ball.

        Have we crossed into being Battleborn yet? I feel like we have. Hey, whatever. So long as it's fun, right? Let's get some...

        Overwatch 2 Announced - First Details and Screenshots
        by Shawn Zipay
        It's a sequel but you still play multiplayer with the first game.

        Blizzard announced Overwatch 2 today at BlizzCon. This sequel adds in a few PvE focused modes as well as the same multiplayer you are probably already well aware of.

        Up to four players can join forces to do battle against the computer in a series of Story Missions. There are also Hero Missions where players will have to defend cities against robot invasions. Both of these modes sound a lot like the limited...
