Season 10 “Venture Force”
■ Let’s start the venture and adventure!
The new damage hero “Venture” is an archaeologist full of courage and passion for history. He can freely move above and below ground with a giant drill and attack enemies with various abilities that use shock waves. Venture is characterized by an unprecedented play style that “burrows underground, outwits the opponent, and overwhelms the opponent with powerful abilities.”
The “Smart Excavator” (main attack) held by Venture is a drill that can fire powerful energy bullets that explode in the air. If you use “Barrow”, which can go underground and nullify enemy attacks, you can dodge attacks underground and launch a surprise attack when you surface. When breaking through your opponent’s attack or defense, use “Drill Dash”, which allows you to knock back your opponent while dashing forward. If you want to thoroughly attack your opponent, we recommend the ultimate “Tectonic Shock”, which releases a powerful shock wave. By skillfully using these abilities, you can flexibly respond to various situations and overwhelm your opponent with overwhelming power, such as by moving along routes where there are no enemies or engaging in melee combat from your opponent’s blind spot. can do.
■ All heroes including Venture are now playable
In order to deliver the fun of the game and play that each hero has to everyone, we have decided to release the Venturers who will debut this time and new heroes that will appear in the future at the same time as their release. If you complete the new player program, you can start playing with the new heroes right away. Previously released heroes are also included in the immediate release, so as long as you meet the requirements of this new player program, you will be able to select all released heroes when playing from now on. Venture will also be appearing in Competitive Play at the same time as Season 10 begins tomorrow. Due to the great success we had in the recent trial, we decided to make some adjustments to his abilities and debut them right away.
Considering the history of new heroes in the past, the simultaneous debut of Rival Play is unusual, but this is actually the release method we were aiming for. Our previous staggered debut in Competitive Play was meant to give everyone time to unlock new heroes in the Battle Pass, as well as give us time to iron out bugs and balance issues. . However, due to the results of the trial the other day and the introduction of instant release of new heroes, we have decided that we can introduce them to Competitive Play in conjunction with their debut. Everyone, please enjoy Venture to the fullest in both Unranked and Competitive Play!
■ “Mirror Watch” where the hero’s position changes
The Mirror Universe is a world of matching mirrors, where light is dyed by darkness and darkness emerges as light. This “another world” is the stage for this limited-time event “Mirror Watch.” It’s not just the heroes’ positions that change. Hero abilities will also be greatly arranged to suit this mode. There are a variety of new abilities to try out, including Strike Commander Ogundimu (Doomfist)’s “Power Block” shield, Vengeance (Mercy)’s explosive ability “Soul Burn”, and Agent Colomar (Sombra)’s ultimate “Anti-Virus”. . “WATCHPOINT: GIBRALTAR”, which is the stage, is also a mirror universe specification that has been taken over by Talon. “Mirror Watch” will be available to play from April 24th to May 13th.
■ Diversification of ways to earn rewards
Based on your feedback, we’re lowering the hurdles to earning rewards and giving you more freedom to play the game. Coins that were previously earned through Weekly Challenges will now also be available through the Battle Pass. The amount of coins you can earn with the battle pass each season is a whopping 600. Not only will it be easier to get coins, but the amount of coins you can get will also increase.
■ Unlock Mythic Skins More Freely
Starting with Season 10, the Mythic Shop will be introduced. In the Mythic Shop, you can unlock multiple Mythic skins and customization options by trading them for Mythic Prisms. The most efficient way to obtain Mythic Prisms is to upgrade to the Premium Battle Pass. By the time you reach the final tier, you’ll have 80 Mythic Prisms. 80 Mythic Prisms will unlock one Mythic skin and all its customization options, so if you want to collect as many Mythic Prisms as possible each season, upgrading to the Battle Pass is the way to go.
The new Mythic skin that will be released this time is “Vengeance” for Mercy. “Vengeance”, which means “revenge”, is also the code name used by “Angela Ziegler of the Mirror Universe”, who aims to create a new world where she controls the life and death of humanity, when she introduces herself as the leader of Talon. There are a total of three new skin colors. In addition to this, you can unlock three masks, two hairstyles, and two ‘Caduceus Staff’ designs.
If Mercy isn’t your main focus, don’t worry. The Mythic Prisms you collect include selected past Mythic skins, such as “Cyber Demon” for Genji, “Amaterasu” for Kiriko, and “Galactic Empire Emperor” for Sigma, as well as unreleased Mythic skins that will appear in the shop in the future. Can also be used for locks. We’ll have more information about the Mythic Shop, including Mythic Prisms, unlocks, and upgrades, in a separate article tomorrow when Season 10 begins.
■ A new battle pass that shifts the boundaries between good and evil
Heroes become “evil” and villains become “just”. This Premium Battle Pass will feature “Mirror Watch” themed rewards. The reward is 5 types of legendary skins (“Agent Colomar” for Sombra, “Junker Symmetra” for Symmetra, “Strike Commander Ogundimu” for Doomfist, “Talon Brigitte” for Brigitte, and “Captain” for Widowmaker.・Rakuwa”) and more than 80 tiers. Upgrade to the Ultimate Battle Pass Bundle to receive 2000 Overwatch Coins, 20 Tier Skips, as well as Reinhardt’s “Breaking Knight” and Ana’s “Arch Commander Amari” legendary skins. .
■ Experience the crash first
A limited time trial of the exciting new game mode “Crash” will be held in conjunction with the start of Season 10. Clash is a game mode where the objective is to secure 5 capture points. Capture points are arranged in a straight line on a symmetrical map, so securing points and defending the points are the keys to victory or defeat. Respawn locations change every moment depending on the situation, and the map route is simple. Your return to the front lines will naturally be quicker, and your engagement time will be longer, so you’ll be able to enjoy fierce battles in every match.
The map used for this trial is “HANAOKA”. This is a new map set in the “HANAMURA” district, which is familiar to the “Overwatch” series. Experience the atmosphere and fierce battles of “HANAMURA” in the new game mode. Trials of Clash will be held in arcades from April 17th to April 29th. Don’t miss this one either!
■ Updates for heroes such as Wrecking Ball have also been implemented.
We are planning to make changes to Wrecking Ball’s ability in conjunction with the start of the new season. Specifically, we will add an option to transfer the additional lives gained when activating Adaptive Shield to nearby allies, allowing you to attack enemies while protecting your allies. We’ve also added an option to Grappling Claw that allows you to move while collecting the wire by holding down the main attack while hooked, improving control when swinging. The cooldown time for Grappling Claws is also reduced only if the speed of the Fireball state has not been reached.
In the new season, we plan to make various balance adjustments. Since Sombra and Tracer have become much stronger after the introduction of new game play in Season 9, we are making downward adjustments to their abilities. Specifically, we reduced the continuous damage of Sombra’s “Virus” to balance out the burst damage on hit, and placed Tracer’s “Pulse Bomb” on the target so that the opposing team could compete equally. I plan to make it more difficult. Additionally, in Season 10, we are planning to strengthen Reinhardt’s “Earth Shatter”. From Season 10 onwards, we will be slightly buffing many tank heroes, so keep an eye out for that as well. We plan to adjust the damage/recovery balance for some support heroes such as Moira and Illarie, and strengthen Lifeweaver to improve the performance of their abilities. I posted a preview of the patch notes with detailed changes on the forum, so if you’re interested, please check it out.
■ Competitive play updates are also planned.
Season 10 also brings major updates to Competitive Play. First, Golden Weapons will be unlockable in Rival Dust in 2024. However, please note that Legacy Rival Dust and 2024 Rival Dust cannot be unlocked in combination.
Group restrictions for Competitive Play have been removed, making it easier to fight together with friends in Competitive Play. However, “wide groups”, which are groups with large differences in skill level, can only compete against other wide groups, which may result in lower match quality, longer waiting times, and less rank fluctuations after matches. It can happen.
The Defense Matrix will also be updated for the new season, with new early exit penalties being introduced in both Unranked and Competitive Play. Additionally, a server-side feature has been added to “Streamer Mode,” allowing players to display their pseudonym, which was previously limited to their own game/client, to teammates and opposing teams.For more information about group restrictions, anti-nuisance measures, and upcoming new features, click here.development updateorDefense Matrix Blog ArticleWe are introducing it. Please also check this.
Fair and fun competitive play is a team priority. We will continue to update the Defense Matrix from time to time and take measures against nuisance behavior.
Are you ready to embark on a new adventure? Please look forward to the 10th season, which will finally begin. Let’s dig, dive, surface, and enjoy the new season together!
