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 is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and 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.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
