A new teaser video for "Overwatch" has reportedly leaked, revealing the game's next major event called "Insurrection."
According to IGN, the trailer was first posted by PlayStation France on YouTube, but has now been put down. The video announced that Insurrection will go live starting April 11 until May 21. It will introduce a new co-op mode, along with a wide variety of character skins and cosmetic items.
The co-op mode is set in daylight, but it seems to be located on the King's Row map. As seen in the clip, new skins will be available for several characters including Mercy, Torbjorn, Widowmaker, McCree, Genji, Bastion, and the game's latest addition, Orisa. The even requires players to fight against an army of Omnic enemies as Torbjorn, Tracer, Mercy, or Reinhardt. Over 100 new items will be up for grabs when Insurrection launches, which include new emotes, sprays, and poses.
In other related news, Blizzard Entertainment has recently given fans an update about the possible Nintendo Switch port. Game director Jeff Kaplan said the studio is open to make a Switch port, but developing it would be a huge challenge. "Just because we're not on a platform right now, it doesn't mean we won't reconsider it in the future, so we stay aware of all these things," he said.
Kaplan spoke with Express Online in a follow-up interview to further explain what makes the Switch port a bit far from being developed. "I think the problem is, we've really targeted our min spec in a way that we would have to revisit performance and how to get on that platform," he stated. Kaplan went on to say that handling three platforms and maintaining them simultaneously is already a huge task.
Developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, "Overwatch" is available for PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One platforms.
