| 9s | we're really excited because people will |
|---|---|
| 11s | just be able to just fully immerse |
| 13s | yourself in the maps and the story lines |
| 15s | and the heroes |
| 17s | with the new seasonal model we'll be |
| 18s | able to drop a ton of content in very |
| 20s | frequently as we're updating the game |
| 21s | through these big seasonal drops |
| 23s | we're looking at releasing heroes every |
| 24s | other season and then a map in between |
| 26s | those and on top of that we're looking |
| 28s | at dropping a ton of content involving |
| 29s | skins and other great goodies for |
| 31s | players to get their hands on for each |
| 33s | seasonal drop |
| 34s | we have so much that we want to do in |
| 36s | overwatch to develop this game because |
| 38s | we think it's the next step for us we |
| 40s | think there's so much more we could |
| 42s | bring i'm really happy moving to our new |
| 45s | seasonal base schedule making this |
| 46s | really huge commitment to regular |
| 48s | updates it's exciting at the same time |
| 51s | because i know what this team can do we |
| 53s | really want players to be able to |
| 54s | anticipate when things are going to |
| 56s | enter the game with all the new content |
| 58s | and events coming in it's even more |
| 59s | important to just make sure that |
| 60s | everybody knows what's coming and along |
| 62s | with the free to play change we're doing |
| 64s | away with loot boxes entirely we have a |
| 65s | new battle pass model coming in and with |
| 67s | store as well so players will have a lot |
| 69s | more control about how they interact |
| 70s | with the game and how they acquire new |
| 72s | content |
| 73s | we've been working on so many things |
| 75s | over the past couple years i'm most |
| 76s | excited for folks to see some of the new |
| 78s | heroes that we've been kind of cooking |
| 79s | up it's a bunch of different reasons why |
| 81s | we choose to make a hero we're trying to |
| 83s | follow the narrative pick the hero that |
| 85s | makes sense or do we need to create a |
| 87s | hero that answers this mana counters a |
| 90s | certain strategy that's too strong in |
| 91s | the game we've got two more supports and |
| 94s | another tank in just the first couple of |
| 96s | seasons and we're still working on new |
| 98s | characters for a year year and a half |
| 99s | down the line as well there's characters |
| 101s | that folks have already seen glimpses of |
| 103s | in the story and there's also characters |
| 105s | that you've never seen before never |
| 106s | heard about |
| 108s | we were looking at making sure that new |
| 110s | heroes fit within this new very |
| 111s | fast-paced paradigm and less shields and |
| 114s | crowd control you can see a lot of that |
| 115s | reflected in team play moments but with |
| 117s | a much faster pace vibe |
| 122s | we want to push the sci-fi the |
| 124s | futuristic feeling of maps there's a |
| 126s | touch of sci-fi everywhere you look so |
| 128s | this is something that was a bit more |
| 130s | subtle in overwatch one we really want |
| 132s | players to feel that the world takes |
| 134s | place in not so distant future coming up |
| 137s | next is rio rio new pvp map pretty sure |
| 141s | everybody's gonna love that one as well |
| 143s | it's a great map it's close to the team |
| 145s | many people on the team are from brazil |
| 146s | so it was kind of fun to inject the |
| 148s | culture the colors the vibe into this |
| 151s | map |
| 151s | there's a map that takes place in |
| 153s | portugal this map is pretty close to the |
| 155s | team because our lead environment artist |
| 157s | he's from portugal |
| 159s | people from the location should really |
| 161s | get a sense that we've done a ton of |
| 162s | research |
| 163s | and we were very inspired and i think we |
| 165s | captured it pretty beautifully in the |
| 167s | game it is a push map one of the newest |
| 170s | game modes and we tried some pretty |
| 172s | interesting layouts for this one so we |
| 174s | hope the players like it we definitely |
| 177s | want the game to feel like a globe |
| 179s | trotting adventure |
| 182s | there's new types of content from what |
| 184s | you're used to in overwatch one we have |
| 185s | charms we have banners |
| 188s | the current make the skin that's in the |
| 189s | works that i worked on actually is genji |
| 192s | he's got this kind of cyberpunk japanese |
| 194s | demonic theme mythic skins are meant to |
| 197s | be this |
| 198s | next tier of skins above legendary we |
| 201s | want players to be able to go in there |
| 203s | and pick and choose certain pieces meant |
| 204s | to be this extra awesome legendary skin |
| 206s | that you can customize we're |
| 208s | concurrently developing quite a few |
| 209s | mythic skins they're going to be |
| 210s | released over the seasons all this |
| 212s | amazing stuff all of the amazing skins |
| 214s | for weapon charms really what we're |
| 216s | looking for there is just for the |
| 217s | players to be able to express themselves |
| 219s | and dress their character up one of our |
| 221s | core tenets on overwatch visually is to |
| 224s | focus a lot on the first person view we |
| 226s | want you to be able to see it and enjoy |
| 228s | it while you're playing the game one |
| 229s | thing that was really important to us |
| 230s | was to make sure that players if they |
| 231s | earn anything in the game anywhere that |
| 233s | they're able to use it everywhere so if |
| 235s | you earn something on console or a pc or |
| 237s | an overwatch one you can always use it |
| 239s | in anywhere in overwatch too as well and |
| 240s | with each new season there'll be a ton |
| 242s | of new content and a new battle pass as |
| 243s | well |
| 244s | these seasonal updates will allow us to |
| 246s | be constantly infusing the game with new |
| 247s | content new heroes new maps so the game |
| 250s | is going to feel fresh just all the time |
| 252s | there's always going to be something for |
| 253s | you to do or to work towards there's |
| 255s | never going to be a point where you're |
| 257s | like gosh i don't have anything to do |
| 259s | being able to provide players with new |
| 261s | heroes every so often new maps it is |
| 264s | going to be a growing and evolving game |
| 266s | there's so much for us to explore as we |
| 268s | move forward |
| 270s | get ready it's going to be really |
| 271s | exciting really fun |
| 273s | with both pvp and pve there's going to |
| 276s | be really great content for you to |
| 278s | immerse yourself in and continue to play |
| 281s | over and over again with your friends |
| 284s | we can't wait for october 4th we're just |
| 286s | excited to be back |
| 288s | [Music] |
| 291s | you mentioned that pve is coming in |
| 293s | 2023. now can you tell us how the |
| 296s | development is going and why the team is |
| 298s | committed to bringing these type of |
| 300s | experiences into overwatch we're all so |
| 303s | invested in the world of overwatch and |
| 305s | and the heroes that live in it and |
| 307s | through the years we've developed |
| 308s | cinematics animated shorts and graphic |
| 311s | novels for our players who just want to |
| 313s | get deeper into the lore |
| 315s | with pve we have an opportunity to go a |
| 318s | step further to go deeper into diverse |
| 320s | storytelling in ways that we really just |
| 322s | haven't been able to before |
| 325s | so we are planning to expand the |
| 327s | overwatch universe through these seasons |
| 329s | that we just described and we will start |
| 331s | delivering this pve gameplay in 2023 pve |
| 335s | will be delivered through the live |
| 336s | service and that means we'll be able to |
| 338s | deliver and tell more overwatch stories |
| 340s | and create more opportunities to |
| 342s | experience our heroes here's a sneak |
| 344s | peek at what we're working on |
| 347s | the team's goal for pve and overwatch 2 |
| 350s | is to basically move the overall story |
| 353s | of overwatch for we've told a lot of |
| 355s | short stories along the way there are a |
| 356s | lot of 2b continues it's time for us to |
| 359s | answer those questions |
| 361s | close off some of those stories ask new |
| 363s | questions so the new game will |
| 365s | definitely move the overall canon of the |
| 368s | lore of overwatch ford get those doors |
| 370s | open for the pvp live service for |
| 372s | certain seasons you're also going to get |
| 374s | some pve maps you'll be fighting null |
| 377s | sector and at least some of the maps |
| 379s | they've come back and they're mad so |
| 381s | it's overwatch's job to take them out |
| 383s | there's going to be content for you to |
| 386s | immerse yourself in and continue to play |
| 388s | over and over again a lot of the older |
| 390s | guys from the original overwatch team |
| 392s | they're coming back but they need help |
| 394s | with some of the younger generation like |
| 396s | brigitta and lucio so |
| 398s | we're going to tell the story of how |
| 400s | overwatch basically gets back together |
| 402s | another thing we want to do with the |
| 403s | story is to showcase more of where the |
| 405s | characters are from for example torbjorn |
| 407s | is from gothenburg players will get a |
| 409s | chance to see what torbjorn's factory |
| 411s | looks like you can play pve with your |
| 413s | friends and immerse yourself in the |
| 415s | world and stay inside of it a little bit |
| 418s | longer |
| 424s | you |
