Overwatch characters and maps released post-launch will be free

Here we go, the latest and greatest from Shacknews...

Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan has revealed the game’s post-launch content will include additional maps and heroes that will be offered as free content.

Heroes and maps will be delivered in the form of patches, similar to how Blizzard launches new characters in Heroes of the Storm. For Overwatch, though, each patch that includes a new map and/or character will be completely free post launch.

While Kaplan says these new characters and maps will be added “as free content and not as DLC”, we’re curious just how long those plans will continue through the life of Overwatch. Other publishers and developers release additional content within paid downloadable content, but for Blizzard to make all future characters and maps available for free is unheard of in this day and age.

If they’re able to keep their promise through the life Overwatch, then it’s certainly worth its price of admission.
