Orissa coming to Console Tuesday!!!

I'm really excited to finally get to play as Orisa all of her abilities look cool and fun to use and I think she might be my go to tank instead of Zarya if I do well playing as her.

Patch Notes for today's update.

Also Orisa will be disabled in Comp for 1 week to prevent players from trying her out/learning to play her in competitive matches.

Overwatch Free-to-Play Weekend - May 26-29
https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20793052

I really enjoy playing threes so I'm super happy to be getting new maps for that gamemode, having said that would be nice to have new maps for the regular mode.

Just a quick reminder, the free to play weekend starts this Friday and will run through Monday. You'll be able to download a free version starting Friday and play the entire game including the event that starts tomorrow. Great chance to try the game for free!

I suggest you make a brand new thread with a title that says everything you need to know. People who don't play overwatch probably don't check this thread. I'm only here because I noticed biggles talking about this post in the chatbox. Hope you guys get some new players!

Patch notes for the Anniversary event. Includes a small number of balance changes.
