I’m waiting for Euro-Blizzard World
There was an amusing moment during last year’sBlizzConwhere it almost seemed like Blizzard actually had the ego to open a theme park based on their video games. Then we slapped ourselves a nano-second later at what a ridiculous notion that was (although I’d admit I’d have a Season Ticket.)
No, it was in fact,“Blizzard World”a new map for team-based shooterOverwatch. The new map is a pretty intricately-designed park featuring areas and references to almost all of Blizzard’s back-catalogue.Diablo, Warcraft, StarCraft, even The Lost Vikings are present and correct – though whetherRock ‘n’ Roll Racinggets a shout-out I’m unsure.
Blizzard World opens for business (and by “business” I mean shooting your friends and failing to Get On the Payload) next week, as the play-park goes live inOverwatchon January 23. Here’s hoping it’s not closed for repairs upon arrival.
