It seems it will be eventually updated with more models.
For some reason, the hair of some heroes now look quite soft (Tracer, Lucio, Winston) while some keep the same plastic-y style the OW1 models have (Mercy, Reinhardt, Mei).
Tracer ditched her crocs.
Maybe they’ll allow us to use both? There could always be some “Traditional” skins.
Mercy has officially achieved Karen status
Genji looks super badass with a hoodie
The one thing that worries me is they’ll probably slow or stop making skins for OW1. Since they’d have to create the models for both OW1 and OW2. Hope that’s not the case.
But we’ll most likely indeed get the OW2 base skins for OW1 and viceversa. I’m not sure if they’ll be included in the lootboxes however or if they’ll be paid skins.
That’s really interesting… The new art direction is more akin to that of the cinematics short, the hair in particular is far more realistic, and less stylized. I love it!
The skins and such will be added for both games.
We know skins from OW1 will be in OW2. We don’t know if it’ll work the opposite way.
Mei tugging at my heart string like back in season 3 when i first saw her
my soul…
Someone said OW1 is upgrading to the OW2 engine. Otherwise EVERYTHING would be double work since heroes will be in both games.
Who though.
If they did there’d be no reason to have OW2. They’d just call it a PVE expansion if not for the engine.
I assure you they will still be there in game.
Then I’d buy it for the engine alone… no big deal. Just seems like if everything but the PvE will be in current OW, then they’re really going to carry on with two different art styles/engines for two different games? That makes 0 sense too.
why people don’t seem to understand something this easy? its the same game dude. Runs on the same but upgraded version of the engine to support PVE.
A comparison video by u/Owlero for those that can’t access the website.
you are completely right, there would indeed be no reason to have OW2.
except one very obvious reason, or should i say 60 obvious reasons.
Honest opinon ? Meh. I like the new Reinhardt, but dislike and/or straight up hate the rest. Lucio’s new looks especially is an absolute abomination.
The new updated skins looks amazing comparing to the original ones. Looks fresh and new! Love it!
Cant wait for Symmetra’s new look/model!
… except Lucio, but I hate him anyway, lol
Biggest Tracer nerf ever, right there.
Not diggin’ the hair. Especially on Winston. The more stylized look is far better.
