Blizzard is reportedly set to release a number of new additions to their highly popular team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game, "Overwatch."
According to reports, the game's developer is likely going to be adding a brand new Halloween-themed downloadable content (DLC) expansion pack apart from the recently released new Tank Class character, Zarya.
The source of majority of the rumors regarding the alleged new Halloween-themed DLC expansion pack is from several audio files that were uploaded on Reddit by a user named TheFunyunKnight. The audio files seem to also point to a possible special event that might be taking place this month.
Some of the audio files have very funny references to the Oktoberfest event itself, indicating a possible new event taking place this month. There are two particular files that reference the event, which includes " Oktoberfest! My favorite time of year! Now where are my lederhosen? " and "Do I have time for a currywurst? Hmm? "
The other audio files themselves also clearly point to a possible new Halloween DLC. An audio file for Genji has him saying, "My Halloween costume? Cyborg ninja." Soldir 76 also has a file which has him saying, "Trick of Treat," while Tracer has one that says "Ooh, Scary!"
As for the new character that was recently added, the Tank Class Zyra will be the second post-release character to be added to the game. Blizzard had also showcased a brand new release trailer when the character was announced. The trailer shows Zyra's various skills including her Particle Grenade, Personal Barrier, Shield Ally, Graviton Surge, Expulsion Zone, and Energy ability.
Along with the new character, Blizzard also released a brand new battleground called "Warhead Junction." The area was described as a former testing ground for nuclear weapons. In the map, players will actually be able to pick up warheads which they can use to deal damage to their enemy's fortifications.
