Blizzard uses its Overwatch livesteam at gamescom 2016 to reveal information on the game’s new map, show off a new animated short starring Bastion, and reveal a new legendary skin.
Today’s Overwatch livestream at this year’s gamescom was mainly to reveal Blizzard’s latest animated short, which featured everyone’s favorite weapon of war and bird aficionado Bastion. The short was rumored to happen at the event, but the newest map, Eichenwalde, was a surprise to most. While the official map reveal was done yesterday, this event allowed Blizzard to give a closer estimate as to when the Overwatch map would be released. As a special bonus, Blizzard also previewed a new legendary skin for Reinhardt that is inspired by this new map.
