Overwatch Reddit post sparks talk of PS4, Xbox One and PC custom games update
AN OVERWATCH Reddit post has revealed more on what fans want from Blizzard’s PS4, Xbox One and PC custom game servers.
Having been updated several times since its launch, Overwatch is now starting to take its final shape.
Developers Blizzard have been cautious to try and listen to fans feedback when it comes to releasing new characters and maps, as well as providing new games modes and rules for fans to try out.
And it appears that there is a new area of the game that is being worked on which has been discovered by a new Overwatch Reddit post.
A group of friends playing Overwatch decided to make their own Custom Game where the goal was to get Genji to Point A on Eichenwalde.
There are a heap of rules to how this works, with its posting on Reddit sparking a debate on how the Custom Game options should be expanded for players to enjoy.
The talk quickly switched to a post on the Overwatch forum, where Jeff Kaplan had confirmed back in September that Blizzard were working on the concept of making custom games open to the public, like a server browser.
“We're very interested in the concept of enabling players to make custom games open to the public,” Kaplan confirmed.
“We have time scheduled to explore this and we're pretty excited about it.
“We would love to make more of our tools available to the community. Our main issue has been that we made a brand new engine for OW.
“The tools and tech are not in a state where it is easy to make them public-facing. We keep talking about ways to get a roadmap to get us there someday. Both our design and tools team are very invested in trying to make this happen someday. But this concept would not happen anytime soon.”
Mini-Games made by fans look to be a pretty popular idea and so fans will be hoping to hear more about Blizzard’s ideas for expanding very soon.
You can check out the Mini-Games created above via the YouTube link, there appears to be a lot of idea floating around so don't be surprised if you see a new Overwatch Reddit thread open up very soon, where everyone can share their own unique rules.
