‘Overwatch’ New Characters And Free Maps Confirmed After Release; Future Heroes Teased!

"Overwatch" new characters and maps will be free after the launch of the game, according to Gamespot.

Recently, Blizzard has announced that the "Overwatch" close beta servers will be offline and will be taking a break on Dec. 10. The forums can be accessed at that time even though the beta servers are taking a break. Players can get back to the action by mid-January.

This time around, many fans have asked about what plans the game company has for the game in the future. Blizzard promptly answered those questions and confirmed that all of the maps and characters released for the game will be free. "Overwatch" new characters and maps which will be updated in the game will not cost anything.

The developers have released an update for the "Overwatch" community. Here is a video of the update.

Jeff Kaplan, the game's director, has revealed the post-launch plans for the game, according to Polygon.

"We have ideas for additional maps and heroes that we'd like to add to the game," said Kaplan.  "We thought about this and we decided the best way to add them to the game is to patch them in as free content and not as paid DLC."

Kaplan has also revealed that there is no exact timeline for when the additional "Overwatch" new characters and maps will arrive. He also added that there is no certainty yet of how many characters and maps will be added after a while.

Furthermore, Blizzard is keeping watch for the new characters that will be added and will be on the lookout for "what's healthy for the game."

Kaplan has also teased that some of the upcoming characters have already been hinted throughout the game as Easter eggs. It is up to the players to guess which ones are going to be the next hero of the game.
