Replay Feature Coming To Overwatch
Blizzard has announced a new feature called “Overwatch Replays” for its competitive shooter that should alleviate complaints about the “Play of the Game” system. As its name suggests, it gives players the ability to view their match from different camera angles, speeds and player perspectives. It sort of works like the spectator tools used for the Overwatch League and may prove useful for dedicated players who want to analyze what went on in the match, how they died, and how their strategy worked out. The feature is already live on the PTR.
Great Rune Won’t be Fully Open World
Reports earlier this week revealed that George RR Martin has been working with FromSoftware on a new game that might be called “Great Rune”. Now, journalist Antonio Fucito has revealed on Twitter that a developer had told him many years ago that the game won’t be fully open-world due to limitations in FromSoftware’s engine. He also expressed doubt over the “Great Rune” name from the project’s “GR” codename. He said that Bloodborne’s codename, for example, was “SPRJ”. Rumours say we may hear more about the game at this year’s E3.
Battlefield V to Get More Ammo
Battlefield 5’s controversial Attrition system is getting adjusted again to make it easier for players to restock on ammo and healing. The latest patch will allow players to get their supplies from any player equipped with an ammo or medical crate, effectively turning the Support and Medic classes into mobile resupply stations. Medical crates have also been reworked so that they now heal a small area over time either while carried or placed down. This means medics can place them in strategic points to continually heal allies in firefights.
Slay The Spire Switch Version Finally Coming this June
Slay the Spire, the deck-building dungeon crawler with rogue-like elements from Mega Crit Games, will finally be launching on the Nintendo Switch. The Switch version was announced last year in August, but development issues caused its release to be delayed.

The game released stepped out of Early Access on PC last January and released on the PlayStation 4 earlier this week.
Lock into Enemies with New Bloodborne Mod
A cool new mod for Bloodborne has been revealed. The mod allows players to lock onto enemies in the game to gain control of them. Mod creator Lance McDonald says that the mod works on enemies in the main game and also those in DLC areas. Controlled enemies can’t go too far from the main character or they’ll despawn, which means you can’t play the whole game as an enemy unit. Still, it sounds like a lot of fun. The mod is still in the proof of concept stage, though, so it might be a while before we get an actual release.
Terminally Ill Fan Gets To Play Borderlands 3 Early
After Creative Assembly’s kind gesture towards a dying fan, 2K is next to dish out some goodwill towards a fan stricken with cancer. The publisher is set to hand-deliver a copy of Borderlands 3 in early June to Trevor Eastman, a long-time Borderlands fan who has been diagnosed with 3 types of stage 4 cancer. Trevor took to Reddit with the request and other community members helped him reach out to Gearbox. Hopefully, Trevor pulls through and actually gets to play Borderlands 3, and all its DLC, in the years to come.
2,000 Mordhau Players Banned
Mordhau was so popular at launch that it didn’t take long for cheaters to appear. Developer Triternion has revealed that around two thousand players have already been banned. However, some of these bans are being reversed after Triternion found out some were false positives. The bans are mainly for the use of third-party applications to gain an advantage in the game. Not all third-party applications are considered illegal though, like the really popular lute bot and other mods that are not considered unfair.
