Overwatch: McREE, it's over! Change of name provided for the pistolero of the Blizzard FPS

Overwatch McREE character will be renamed . The development team announced it on social networks in a long message of explanation of this decision that intervenes while Activision Blizzard is in the Californian justice viewfinder for toxic management and harassment.

We have built the Overwatch universe around the idea that inclusion, equity and hope are the constituent elements of a better future. They are at the heart of the game and the Overwatch team.

While we continue to discuss the best way to live our values ​​and demonstrate our commitment to creating a game world that reflects them, we think it is necessary to change the name of the hero currently known as the McREE in something that represents better what Overwatch means.

We understand that any modification to a hero if appreciated and at the heart of the game's fiction will take time to implement correctly and share updates as and when the work progress. In the short term, we planned to launch a narrative arc in September supported by a new story and a new play content, of which McREE was a key element. Since we want to integrate this change into this narrative arc, we will delay the new bow until the end of this year and launch instead a new FFA card in September. In the future, the characters of the game will no longer be named after real employees, and we will be more cautious and insightful by adding real world references into the future Overwatch content.

This will help strengthen the fact that we build a fictitious universe that is undeniably different from the real world and illustrates better than the creation of Overwatch is really a teamwork. The work on these updates is in progress and they are part of our continued commitment to honest reflection and make all the changes needed to build a future for which it is worth fighting. We know that the actions are more eloquent than the words, and we hope to show you our commitment to make Overwatch a better gaming experience and to continue making our team the best possible.

The reason the name of this Overwatch champion is a problem, it is that it directly refer to a Blizzard employee, Jesse McREE, ex-lead designer dediablo IV. Overview on the infant famous photo Cosby Suite (hotel room belonging to Alex Afrasiabi, creative director of World of Warcraft targeted by the harassment complaint) dating from Blizzcon 2013, he recently left the studio, like J. Allen Brack, who was the President. Players and streamers ended up no longer wanting to call the cowboy of the future by name and petitions were even launched.

The Rare-Earth Elements That Will Change Our Future | Treasure Hunters | Spark Blizzard did not give the new surname, whose arrival will surely require deep work in the game files and the records. Suggestion, simply change first name for Jean-Pierre. I let you think about it.
