| 29s | i mean the effort is clearly paying off |
| 31s | that short was just so much fun to watch |
| 34s | now it's been such an exciting week for |
| 36s | everyone watching but i'm sure for you |
| 38s | three as well uh players have learned |
| 40s | that the next beta is coming on june |
| 42s | 28th can you tell me a little bit more |
| 44s | about what we can expect to see in this |
| 46s | beta the biggest thing is open the |
| 48s | console players this time we're gonna |
| 49s | add a new map rio junker queen will be |
| 52s | playable finally so this should be |
| 54s | pretty fun i mean i personally can't |
| 55s | wait to get my hands on jungle queen and |
| 57s | you're representing her right there with |
| 59s | the cool shirt as well |
| 60s | what a great segue so let's talk more |
| 62s | about the newest overwatch hero i think |
| 64s | it's super exciting i know everybody has |
| 67s | been really anticipating this character |
| 69s | for a long time she's been super |
| 70s | prominent in our lore ever since the |
| 72s | junkertown map came out and i think |
| 74s | people have really been looking forward |
| 76s | to finally getting to experience |
| 78s | everything that she has to offer what |
| 79s | makes jungkook queen so unique and why |
| 82s | do you think the oh players will love |
| 84s | her |
| 84s | so junker queen is interesting usually |
| 87s | when we start a character we do a bunch |
| 89s | of drawings and and we have a little |
| 91s | story but she was kind of born out of |
| 93s | the junkertown map we started to create |
| 95s | this map that was associated with |
| 97s | roadhog and junkrat this narrative |
| 100s | started to appear where they've been |
| 101s | kicked out of the city and so we're like |
| 103s | who kicked them out and we're like well |
| 105s | maybe there's some sort of leader so we |
| 107s | had the kind of junkertown decree that |
| 109s | you can see in the level |
| 111s | and then over time it kind of developed |
| 113s | that it was a queen during the short |
| 115s | we're actually developing her |
| 116s | personality she's full of attitude you |
| 119s | know that's what we love about her is |
| 121s | she she's really really strong so she's |
| 123s | very recognizable and obviously the lore |
| 126s | behind her |
| 127s | is very interesting so some of that |
| 129s | potentially can bounce off what the the |
| 131s | game design will be it's great to hear |
| 133s | that it's just such a collaboration with |
| 134s | the overwatch team yeah this is this is |
| 137s | the fun part about working together the |
| 138s | overwatch universe it's filled with |
| 140s | memorable heroes and as you say yourself |
| 143s | ben it does take a village of dedicated |
| 145s | developers to really bring each one of |
| 148s | those to life but in a meaningful way so |
| 151s | let's take a deeper look at the making |
| 153s | of jungle queen |
| 155s | [Music] |
| 156s | when we started on chucker queen first |
| 158s | we have to decide what kind of role |
| 159s | she's going to take so she's a tank |
| 161s | she's a really aggressive tank you know |
| 162s | we didn't want her to be kind of a |
| 164s | reinhardt style stay back and guard her |
| 166s | team she's got this very ferocious |
| 168s | nature and we wanted for that to be |
| 169s | represented in gameplay as well |
| 171s | personally what i'm most excited about |
| 172s | junker queen is just her big axe you |
| 175s | know just to be able to swing that thing |
| 176s | around is awesome it's always great to |
| 177s | have some sort of anchor point to make |
| 179s | sure we really incorporate this act into |
| 181s | her abilities |
| 183s | her secondary we call jagged blade if |
| 186s | you do your quick melee attack she will |
| 188s | kind of swing with the blade instead of |
| 189s | normal punch um it does a little bit of |
| 191s | extra damage and creates a wound on the |
| 192s | enemy so she can throw the blade as her |
| 194s | secondary fire and it's really a great |
| 197s | sort of skill shot to be able to land on |
| 198s | an enemy especially like a moving enemy |
| 199s | if you can land it and after you throw |
| 201s | it she'll recall it and it the force of |
| 204s | recalling it uh if it's stuck into |
| 205s | somebody will actually pull them forward |
| 207s | so she can actually kind of pull people |
| 208s | to herself if you can manage to stick |
| 210s | that blade into somebody her trekker |
| 211s | queen's ultimate we have an ability |
| 213s | called rampage she creates this kind of |
| 215s | whirlwind of magnetized metal including |
| 217s | her weapons and like whirls around her |
| 220s | and then she dashes forward and you try |
| 221s | to go through as many enemies as |
| 222s | possible and tag them all up that also |
| 224s | wounds everybody which is really |
| 225s | important because it's very easy to hit |
| 227s | this large effect so it heals you for a |
| 229s | lot but also it creates a debuff on the |
| 231s | enemies that reduces the healing that |
| 232s | they receive to zero |
| 235s | our sound designer has done an |
| 236s | incredible job with her she's full of |
| 238s | snarky fun to the way she plays so all |
| 241s | throughout her kit there's little guitar |
| 244s | sounds actually hidden so if you listen |
| 245s | to her axe she pulls it out and there's |
| 247s | a big screech on the guitar strings and |
| 249s | she pulls it forward we have a wonderful |
| 251s | actor named leah who we found after a |
| 254s | huge global search trying to find the |
| 256s | right voice for her here i am it's |
| 259s | really amazing when the right actor |
| 261s | matches the character and the |
| 262s | personality you feel the sort of magic |
| 265s | that comes out of it i think players are |
| 266s | gonna love her she's scary she's awesome |
| 268s | she's a departure from any other hero |
| 270s | that we have here you know this is just |
| 271s | a straightforward badass character she's |
| 273s | just been so much fun to work on and i'm |
| 274s | just so glad to get her in people's |
| 275s | hands finally |
| 277s | the queen of jungkook town has arrived |
| 280s | so how does the jungle queen fit into |
| 282s | the overall world of overwatch i think |
| 285s | junker queen's pretty interesting |
| 286s | because there have been previous rulers |
| 288s | of junkertown uh junker queen was not |
| 290s | always the queen and the old rulers of |
| 291s | junkertown have always been kind of |
| 293s | content to just you know lord over the |
| 295s | city but junk queen she has very big |
| 297s | acts and big ideas to go along with it |
| 299s | what did you aim to achieve when |
| 301s | developing jungle queen we want to tell |
| 304s | deeper stories for our heroes half the |
| 306s | heroes that are connected to the world |
| 308s | of the game big thing for overwatch 2 is |
| 310s | to move the lore of overwatch along so |
| 312s | these type of heroes help that what are |
| 314s | her abilities and how do those abilities |
| 317s | actually make her successful in the role |
| 319s | she's in what's pretty awesome about |
| 321s | this hero she was developed when 5v5 |
| 323s | from the start she was never a part of |
| 325s | the 6v6 world of overwatch knowing she's |
| 329s | the only tank on the team |
| 331s | what abilities that will help bolster |
| 333s | the team she has this commanding shout |
| 335s | it boosts the speed and armor of the |
| 337s | heroes around her so |
| 340s | especially you need to push through a |
| 341s | choke |
| 342s | she does the shout all the players hear |
| 344s | it they move forward she has a bunch of |
| 346s | weapons you know she i think she named |
| 348s | one of her weapons right yeah her knife |
| 350s | that she throws and pulls back is named |
| 352s | gracie |
| 354s | a lot of her abilities kind of drain on |
| 355s | the heroes and gives her health back her |
| 358s | ultimate basically it shoots you forward |
| 359s | and you do this whirlwind with her axe |
| 361s | that it does a bit like a big antenate |
| 363s | on everybody around you she's very |
| 365s | aggressive and then people are going to |
| 367s | have a ton of fun playing it |
