Blizzard today detailed a closed beta for Overwatch, beginning next week.

The game will feature a bunch of updates, including:

An all-new progression system
Two new maps, including a new game mode
Several hero balance updates
And a variety of Private Game updates, including full A.I. matches

Those with previous closed beta access will be able to play again from 10 February, and newcomers can register to play here.

Have fun!

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.
