Overwatch will provide free Heroes and Maps post launch
Good news for Blizzard fans! The company confirmed that all the maps and characters for Overwatch after launch will be free. Jeff Kaplan, director of Overwatch, said this in an interview.
The director said that his team is proud of the heroes who have created for Overwatch , however, want to make more content for its first FPS.
“There’s been some worry and concern about this,” Kaplan said. “We have ideas for additional maps and heroes that we’d like to add to the game. We thought about this and we decided the best way to add them to the game is to patch them in as free content and not as [paid] DLC. So hopefully that alleviates some concerns that people have.”
According to the creative, Blizzard has no timetable to launch new downloadable content, plus post-launch unknown how many characters will.
