Yeah, if you were once sweating bullets over any game by that name in something called the Stadium, let’s hold it right there-whoah, some really serious information just hit the fan through a Reddit AMA by the Stadium Dev Team-and oh yeah, enough people are talking about it. Honestly, what is Overwatch Stadium? A whole new game? Or just a map? Or perhaps, a mode? The vague tweeting has everyone hyped for it, so let’s get that decoded before foaming at the mouth over it.
For one, these developers are teasing some full-on answers to some Overwatch Stadium questions, meaning that they have had to deal hit them with relentless banging from players for a while. And can you really blame them? The name spoke massively: from some grand coliseum kind of Overwatch fight, battlefield, or paradise, who knows, another sports-themed warzone.
Not much to tweet on, but find that link? That’s where the treasure is. That Colloquy right there has to set some seriousness beforehand; at least, that’s where the devs threw some collation from the highlights of this AMA.
And if you’re at all like me, you missed the live AMA (because, honestly, who has time to live-refresh Reddit all day?). Crazy scoop on this: actually, it’s directly tied to Season 16, which is a big “Been There-Done That” according to the tweet.
So, what have you been doing if you’re not playing it? And these guys didn’t even leave it at some lame teaser questions but actually answered a couple-some juicy stuff, folks; stuff about map layouts, weapon balances, and some secret Easter eggs they probably shouldn’t have discussed but went ahead and did anyway. Just classic devs!
And how about that timing? Absolutely perfect. Basically, it was a power move: AMA launching out right when Season 16 comes into realization. The message almost reads: “Yeah, we know you’re going crazy, so here is even more sauce.” These guys probably have the community combing through each and every word by now, searching for either the tiniest of hints or potential future updates. I mean, seriously: Gamers just love over-analyzing every single little thing.
Attached to that tweet must be something very juicy-the sneak peek action Overwatch Stadium is getting, or team coffee mugs selfie looking exhausted yet proud? It was going to be content either way!
What next, then? If Stadium were ever going to be on their maps for Season 16, the biggest question is how soon will players break it? You know it’s going to happen, too: some dude’s going to find a glitch, speedrun strat, or some way to turn it into a meme factory. And if the devs care? Either they patch it or go with it-no in between.
No prize for guessing: If you have not plummeted into Season 16 already, what on earth are you doing? Go check out the AMA-it’s lore you’re missing, or at least some pretty juicy banter from the devs. Either way, get to it! The battlefield is now ablaze as Overwatch Stadium goes into the whole due process on its own.
