Blizzard today advised that a patch to the Overwatch beta will reset Career Profiles.

That’s not a huge deal, as player levels, progression and rewards will remain intact. The wipe does mean that players will lose personal best details.

The update also adds a new map, Control, alongside new rewards, Hero balance changes and general fixes.

Overwatch is in closed beta, but an open beta is scheduled for 5-9 May.

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.
