Overwatch: Die Patchnotes zu Patch 1.40.0.0

Gestern Abend spielten die für Overwatch zuständigen Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment überraschenderweise den neuen Patch 1.40.0.0 auf die Liveserver der einzelnen Spielregionen dieses beliebten Hero Shooter auf, der selbstverständlich auch dieses Mal wieder die eine oder andere Neuerung mit sich brachte. Das Highlight dieses Content Update ist in diesem Fall eine neue Herausforderung für die Spieler, die ihnen am Ende dann den bereits in einem anderen Beitrag vorgestellten Lego-Skin für Bastion einbringt. Den mittlerweile auf der Communityseite dieses Titels vorhandenen Patchnotes zufolge beinhaltete Patch 1.40.0.0 neben dieser Herausforderung auch noch einige notwendige Fehlerbehebungen, die üblichen Updates für den Workshop und mehrere Spielbalanceänderungen für ausgewählte Helden von Overwatch.
