As you might imagine, you'll need a modern PC in order to run it on anything besides minimal settings.

Blizzard has released another teaser for Overwatch's upcoming 24th hero
- By Ash
- in News
A couple of days ago Blizzard released an 'interview' with inventor Efi Oladele during which they heavily hinted towards the existence of an Omnic hero. The spotlight instantly fell on the much-anticipated Doomfist, but the developers were quick to state that this new hero is not someone we've seen mentioned previously.
The story became a lot more interesting earlier today, however, as Blizzard posted an image of a fairly devastated Numbani airport. As you might remember, one of the final lines in Efi's interview was about her upcoming flight, so this attack clearly had something to do with either her or her invention.
