Blizzard at Gamescom: New Starcraft II and Overwatch

Blizzard today released a ton of new information surrounding a ton of their properties.

First, the Allied Commanders mode was announced for StarCraft II‘s “Legacy of the Void” expansion, where “players take on the roles of legendary StarCraft commanders and team up to defeat a host of enemies in a series of objective-based missions, levelling up their commanders as they progress.”

Three commanders have been revealed thusfar: Jim Raynor, Kerrigan and Artanis.

A hero was also revealed for Overwatch, alongside two new maps.

The game’s new hero is Lucio, “an acclaimed Brazilian musician, supports his comrades by using his musical talents to heal them and boost their speed.”

The maps are Numbani, an African city, and Volskaya Industries, a Russian manufacturing centre.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
