Overwatch 2

Overwatch 2 was announced a couple of years ago, and the project is slowly coming along. You may remember that when the initial reveal took place, the game was confirmed for Switch. The good news is that nothing has changed on that front, and now we have a slight update from technical director John Lafleur.

During a Reddit AMA a little while back, Lafleur commented on the Switch version of Overwatch 2. While Blizzard is “working hard to make sure all of our platforms get the best experience, even in PvE”, when it comes to Nintendo’s console, he did admit that the hardware “is a little more challenging than some, and we’ll have to make some compromises there.”

Lafleur’s full words:

The Jackbox Party Pack 8 Drawful: Animate

Another game reveal is in for The Jackbox Party Pack 8. Drawful: Animate, the third game in the collection, will focus on “players making awful animations two frames at a time.”

Here’s some additional information and a trailer:
