Happy New Year everyone! This is Jeff from the Overwatch team.
Everyone here at Blizzard wants to wish you the happiest of New Year's.
We thought it would be a great opportunity to take a few minutes
to look back on what 2017 was all about.
We had so much fun working on the game during that period.
If you remember, the year started when we released the Oasis map
which was really cool because it came so soon in January and everyone had
a lot of fun playing on Oasis having a new control map for the first time.
Later in the year we released three brand-new heroes.
We had Orisa, Doomfist, and finally Moira.
So, I think they all worked out really well, we've gotten
a ton of good feedback, people have really enjoyed playing those heroes,
that was a lot of fun.
The other thing that I particularly enjoyed out of 2017 that we worked on
was a bunch of new game modes.
I know we had said we were never going to make Deathmatch but then
we added it to the game and it turned out to be a ton of fun.
We added that Château map which was I think a blast for Deathmatch.
And then we also worked a lot on those Elimination modes and added
a bunch of Arena maps to the game.
So, that was a lot of fun, in addition.
Plus, we had some great Animated Shorts last year and the
feedback on those was really amazing.
So, I think all in all 2017 was a great year.
In addition to the stuff I mentioned, there were so many
other bits of content and features.
Now I know what you're all wondering is
"Hey it's 2018, now what do we have look to look forward to from
the Overwatch team?"
And we're super fired up for this year, there's a lot of stuff
that we want to address.
Obviously, the stuff coming more immediately, as we've mentioned before,
we have all those great Overwatch League skins coming soon
that you'll be able to get in the game.
So, those are going to look great and be fantastic.
Plus, the start of the Overwatch League is going to be
incredibly exciting.
The Preseason was amazing.
We had so much fun watching the teams that I think the
season is going to be fantastic.
We're going to release Blizzard World very soon
and I think that map is one of our best.
Not only is it a gorgeous map with tons of great Easter eggs in it
but we're also trying a lot of different things with the gameplay in certain
areas of how we handle the level design, that I think
will make for a really fun and competitive hybrid map.
Now beyond that there's a lot of stuff in the works.
So, I'm gonna be vague about some of this because I can't reveal
everything that we're working on, but obviously one of the things that is
most important to us is heroes.
Overwatch is a game about heroes and we are well along the path on hero #27.
We think the hero is going to be awesome.
We think the hero is very needed.
The hero, we're not really sure exactly when the release date is,
the release date is less important to us than getting the hero right.
We have the hero in internal testing and so far we're having a ton of fun
and we're making a lot of great progress.
We're also thinking about heroes beyond hero #27 as well.
There's some great new maps in the works also, that you will learn more
about in the future.
We know the things that you guys love our new heroes and new maps.
Beyond that we're going to continue to work on improving Competitive Play.
Now I know this is important to a lot of players for a lot of different
reasons and I sort of want to talk about our strategy a little bit.
On the one hand, we feel like as each season rolls out
(new season of competitive) we want to make good,
short-term, strategic, and tactical fixes to Competitive Play
to improve them.
So, for example as Season 8 is starting we're removing the performance-based
skill rating metric from players who are Diamond and above.
As an example, that was something that you gave us a ton of feedback on.
We're listening and we're gonna make that change; we see that as a very
like short-term change.
Now long term we keep listening to feedback and talking internally about
what do we want Competitive Play to be like, ultimately?
And as the year goes on we want to kind of evolve our plan for what
Competitive Play looks like over the long term of Overwatch and does it take
a different shape or form?
And that's still to be determined but I just
want to share with you some of our thoughts and some of what we're
working on here at Blizzard.
The other things that are going on is we want to continue the
story development of Overwatch and we're talking a lot about how to further
the storyline that we've been telling.
We've been talking a lot about you know Winston's recall that
went out and how different people have responded to that.
I think you saw how Mei responded to the recall in Rise and Shine
and how Reinhardt responded to the recall in Honor and Glory.
That's a continuous storyline that we want to explore and
we hope to do that through both our Animated Shorts and comics as well.
Those are things that were really invested in and have a lot
of passion behind.
The other thing that we're putting a lot of time into is our
upcoming events.
So, as you guys know last year for Lunar New Year
it was Year of the Rooster.
Upcoming, very soon is Year of the Dog will be this year's Lunar New event.
There will be more details coming out about that, but I think that
there's some pretty significant content that players are going to be very happy
with and some other stuff that we've been listening to you give us feedback
on that we're gonna make changes on during that Year of the Dog event.
We're also planning what is to be the next iteration of Uprising.
Uprising was the lore-based event that we ran in April of last year
and we know that Uprising should return for players who never got to
experience it in the first place, but we want to evolve it and we want to put
more thought against what that event could be.
We have a lot of really big ideas and we think that's going to be a
lot of fun for players as well and also we like celebrating the anniversary of
the release of the game.
Last year we had all of those dance emotes that we
released one for every single hero.
We know that you'd be very upset if there wasn't another chance to unlock
those dance emotes.
So, the Anniversary Event will be coming back, along with everybody's
favorite which are Legendary skins and all of these things.
Speaking of skins, the feedback that we always get from the players is
"We wish you would add more content to the base non-event loot box" and coming
up very soon, hopefully, sometime this month will be a ton of new content
into that base loot box, that should feel really great.
You don't have to worry about it being time limited behind any event that will
be available you know from here forward; you'll always be
able to have access to that in Overwatch.
So, we're really looking forward to the year, I'm only sort of touching
the tip of the iceberg in terms of things that we're working on.
We're really excited to continue to make the game great alongside of you.
So, we will give you way more detail than I'm giving you on all
this stuff right now.
We'll go way more in-depth as we get closer on all of these things but
just know that all of us here at Blizzard and everyone here on the
Overwatch team is committed to making Overwatch as great as it can be
for you every single day and it's going to be a fantastic 2018.
So, Happy New Year everyone and looking forward to making
another great year alongside of you.
