Mit dem Patch 1.12 bringt Blizzard nicht nur einige Buxfixes, sondern auch gleich neue Inhalte mit ins Online-Spiel Overwatch. Das Highlight des Patches dürfte die neue Karte sein, die Mondkolonie Horizon.

Die einzelnen Inhalte gibt es hier im Überblick:

New Assault Map: Horizon Lunar Colony

• Built as a first step towards humanity’s renewed exploration of space, the Horizon Lunar Colony’s goal was to examine the effects of prolonged extraterrestrial habitation-on human and ape alike. The scientists‘ research proved incredibly promising…until, suddenly, all contact and communications with the base were lost.

Custom Games and Game Browser

McCree

• Deadeye:
• Targets now begin locking on after 0.2 seconds, instead of 0.8 seconds, damage accumulated over the first 1.0 seconds increased from 20 to 80 (damage per second after the first 1.0 seconds is unchanged)

• The Reaping (Passive): Removed health orbs, now regains 20% of all damage done to heroes as health

INTERFACE-UPDATES

• A quick summary of each player’s most-played heroes is now available by highlighting the player in the Groups section of the Social menu (statistics displayed will dynamically change based on the mode/ruleset)
