Hiya folks,

We’re going to be out of the office all next week (22 Nov - 26 Nov), in celebration of American Thanksgiving. If you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your friends, family, and chosen family. This year, I’m incredibly thankful to our community for supporting our teams, holding our feet to the flame, and loving Overwatch.

This does mean that we’ll likely be radio silent for the most part, barring unforeseen circumstances. I’ll still be checking in on a daily basis, however mostly in a monitoring capacity.

Thank you everyone. Have a happy turkey day.

This was a small patch to fix an issue that was causing client crashes for some players.

HANA:

It woudl be also nice if it is not 10 years later too.

Future such articles will be closer to the actual event. We’re a relatively new-ish team (between Jodie and myself), so there’s a lot of processes we’re learning/catching up on.

HANA:

And even better if it is before the actual AMA so ppl can actually participate.

I covered this previously, however we intentionally hosted this AMA with minimal lead time and promotion. For any future AMAs that are meant for the broader community, or if we decide to host forum specific events, we will promote them accordingly.

Candi:

Oh…this is just a write up of the info we got a few weeks ago…?

The information in this post is pretty well known in the English speaking community. We created this article, and plan on doing similarly for any future AMA’s or Q&A’s, primarily for our non-English speaking regions where it’s more challenging to get details like this.

The Overwatch team hosted a live AMA on /r/Competitiveoverwatch to talk about the recent Overwatch League pro playtest.

You a Chicago style hot dog guy?

I’m really most partial to a good Coney dog with onions, mustard, and just a dash of hot pepper (shout out to Coney Island in Ft. Wayne, IN)

Ketchup is a fine condiment. My kids used to love it when they were younger

This cannot stand. Next you’ll tell me they like Ketchup on hot dogs.

News that a team is taking longer than anticipated with a game is never easy, especially in a case where players have been eagerly anticipating any information about release, beta, etc. The forums, reddit, and social have all been a reflection of the frustration I believe a lot of OW players are feeling today, and that’s ok.

Jodie (our new CM, you’ll meet her eventually) and I have been spending the last day gathering feedback, and today we’ll be summarizing it and sending it along to the those who need to see it. While it’s important that our team does everything in our power to meet the high expectations that we all have for the Overwatch franchise, we also need to be aware of how it affects the community that’s grown up around our game.

In the meantime, I want you all to know that we understand what’s happening on the forums. While we still believe that this is the right thing to do for the team, the game, and ultimately the players, we get the emotions being shared today.

One rumor to clear up: I’m seeing a lot of folks assuming a launch date in 2023 is wrote. Without being pedantic, I want to point out that there was no release date or beta date communicated in yesterday’s earnings call. While I’m not prepared to discuss dates with you here today, I want to quash the rumor of a 2023 release date as being somehow “official”.

To the OP: I understand where you’re coming from and sincerely hope to have the opportunity to restore your feelings of excitement and joy about Overwatch and the team behind it.

Moira:

Is Reaper or Blackwatch a big part of the upcoming story?

No spoilers shall ye find from me.

The upcoming Cassidy event is not to reveal his new name, nor do we intend to have Cowboy’s new name be a celebratory moment. What’s most likely driving confusion is the fact that we decided to delay the original event to account for the updated name.

DvaDiff:

Like a community created card?

What an interesting thought
