Overwatch

Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch has received a new update for its closed beta which adds a fair amount of content to enjoy.

This includes a new Control map and new Progression Rewards. Heroes have also received balance changes with general fixes added to the beta. It should be noted that the update will wipe your Career Profile, resetting Personal Best records, though it won’t affect your progression rewards unlocked, levels gained or the overall matchmaking.

Overwatch returned to its closed beta in February but soon it will be available on May 5th to 9th as an open beta (those who pre-order gain earlier access). The game itself will be out on May 24th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

What are your thoughts on the update and the new rewards and map it adds? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information in the coming months.
