Blizzard made some big announcements during BlizzCon 2019, one of which was the official reveal of Overwatch 2. While so many details have been laid out, like what Overwatch 2 means for current players and how progress carries over, what we’re focusing on here is the four new maps coming to the PvP competitive mode.

One of them is Toronto. It’s the first map set in Canada, and it also coincides with the next hero Sojourn who is of Canadian origin. The path through Toronto winds around the sprawling metropolitan area, specifically designed with the new Push game mode in mind. The map is distinctly Canadian; there’s an outdoor ice rink, a statue of a hockey player, and maple trees.

Rio de Janeiro is another new map, and its design reflects the urban streets of the Brazilian city. A modified version is also part of the PvE story missions.

Monte Carlo looks to be a lavish map modeled after the iconic real world location in Monaco.

Gothenburg is based on the Swedish town, and a number of characters like Brigitte and Torbjorn come from here.

We have BlizzCon 2019 stories from every angle; whether its the details of Diablo IV or the differences between Overwatch and Overwatch 2, we have you covered. Check out all our stories below:

This is a mostly spoiler-free review of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 2. All 8 episodes are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.

Back in 2018, John Krasinski successfully stepped into the shoes of one of Tom Clancy’s most beloved characters, imbuing the titular government analyst with just the right mix of boyish charm and deadly proficiency. Pairing Krasinski with Wendell Pierce’s James Greer was a brilliant move by creators Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Graham Roland (Fringe), as their memorable bromance was one of the highlights of the first season. Jump to 2019, and Jack Ryan is back on Amazon Video with a by-the-numbers 8-episode second season that appears to forget what made its first outing so great.

Pokemon Go‘s Halloween event has ended, which means Darkrai is no longer available in Raids. Before Cobalion arrives next week, however, the Legendary Regi trio have returned to the game, but they’ll only be around for a limited time.

Until 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET on November 4, Regirock, Registeel, and Regice will appear in five-star Raid Battles around the world. Not only does this give you a new opportunity to add the Legendary Pokemon to your collection if you’ve previously missed them, you’ll also have your first chance to catch their Shiny forms.

In addition to the Regi trio’s return, you’ll be able to find Pokemon that have a type advantage over the Legendaries–such as Geodude, Magnemite, Swinub, Aron, and Spheal–more frequently in the wild, while Aerodactyl, Shuckle, Sneasel, Skarmory, Snorunt, and Beldum will hatch more often from eggs. Incubators will also be twice as effective throughout the weekend, allowing you to hatch eggs in half the time they normally require.

Later this month, the Legendary Regigigas will make its debut in EX Raids. If you can’t wait until then to catch it, Niantic is hosting a Special Research story event on November 2 called “A Colossal Discovery,” which will let you encounter the new Legendary early. However, until other Special Research questlines in the game, you need to purchase a virtual ticket to participate in the event.

Once the Regi trio leave the game again on November 4, they’ll be replaced by the aforementioned Cobalion, the first Gen 5 Pokemon to appear in Go. It will be available in five-star Raids until November 26. Meanwhile, Pokemon Go’s November Community Day is set for November 16. The featured Pokemon this month will be Chimchar, the Fire-type starter from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Overwatch 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch. The sequel to Blizzard’s team-focused, hero-based first-person shooter was previously announced for Xbox One, PS4, and PC (specifically Battle.net) during the BlizzCon 2019 opening presentation. No release date has been announced.

In Overwatch 2, you’ll have access to both PvP and PvE content. Overwatch veterans will recognize what you’re able to do in PvP, though there is a new mode, Push, which sees teams try to get a robot to move into their opponent’s side of the map. Overwatch lead designer Jeff Kaplan described Push as a “core competitive game mode, so the mode will appear alongside the others in Quick Play and Competitive, and will also be played in the Overwatch League.

To ensure no one gets left behind, Overwatch players will be able to play in competitive PvP with Overwatch 2 players. “Current Overwatch players will battle side-by-side with Overwatch 2 players in PvP multiplayer; they’ll also be able to play Overwatch 2 heroes and maps,” he said. The official Overwatch 2 website says “Your accomplishments and loot collections will be carried forward to Overwatch 2. That means you’ll keep your skins, player icons, sprays, emotes, and more.”

The major change between Overwatch and Overwatch 2 is in the PvE. Overwatch 2 will have PvE Story and Hero modes. In Story mode, you play with friends on a predetermined team of heroes in scripted missions that will continue the narrative of Overwatch. Meanwhile, Hero mode puts your team into objective-based missions–all of which are designed to be repeated with friends to level up your characters and unlock new abilities.

Blizzard clarified that Overwatch will not receive a new Archives event this year during a panel at BlizzCon 2019.

Game director Jeff Kaplan said Blizzard isn’t adding a new event to the story-driven co-op Archives missions due to the team focusing on the newly-announced Overwatch 2. However, Kaplan confirmed that the team has no plans to abandon the existing game, saying there are still some “cool updates” coming and “new stuff” they want to add.

“We are still going to run the Archives event,” Kaplan said. “They will be new skins. There’s going to be new cosmetic content. There are also other awesome features coming to the live game that we think you should be excited about.”

Kaplan detailed an upcoming selection feature that will let you choose how to spend your time while queuing. You can go to the training room or participate in a new deathmatch mode specifically designed for waiting, or you can fire up Custom Game and/or Workshop and play “whatever the hell you want” in the future. Kaplan didn’t specify when this feature will get added to Overwatch.

Overwatch 2 was unveiled during BlizzCon 2019. Though there’s no official release date or window announced, Kaplan said the sequel will appear on “every single platform we support today.” The game will launch on Nintendo Switch, PC (via BattleNet), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
