The latest details for "Overwatch" will feature new DLC skins in the spring and BlizzCon 2017, as well as a new reporting system in the works.
It seems that new characters skins will be coming to "Overwatch" as game director Jeff Kaplan promised gaming fans some unique outfits for each character in the game. One of these unique skins happens to be hinted on Kaplan's Reddit AMA post where in he stated that McCree and Widowmaker and it happen next month.
Another DLC skin tease will likely happen in this year's BlizzCon event as Kaplan stated in the forums that he liked some ideas to be incorporated in "Overwatch," not to mention that he teased special BlizzCon loot boxes with special edition skins for the characters similar to Bastion and Genji last year. Kaplan also liked the idea of players trading character skins with other players, PVPLine reported.
Meanwhile, Blizzard Entertainment is working on a new reporting system in "Overwatch's" latest Public Test Realm (PTR) and some players noticed that it is more robust than the current system within the game.
One of the new features in the new reporting system is that it now allows players to state their reasons for the making their reports as it pops out two explanations.
For instance, it will say “ABUSIVE CHAT IS:” and then rolls through a list that cites hateful, obscene or harassing chat. Below, it explicitly offers “ABUSIVE CHAT IS NOT:” and details that simply asking a player to switch heroes or strategies is not abusive in "Overwatch."
The new reporting system could improve how players cite their complaints from other players during matches and offer solutions in maintaining an honest and harmonious gameplay experience to both new and old "Overwatch" players, TechnoBuffalo reported.
Previous reports revealed that Blizzard will be working in a new map editor system that will allow players to create their own maps in "Overwatch" and the "Save Play of the Game" feature that will allow players to save their greatest highlights and export them as well.
The new character Orisa is currently available in "Overwatch's" roster along with a handful of buffs and nerfs for characters Ana, Lucio, Sombra and many more.
"Overwatch" is currently available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
