Free for all Deathmatch is coming to

The new mode is not deathmatch. HOWEVER, we hear the desire for that type of mode loud and clear. Aim practice, warming up, fragging out.
We're currently working on the required tech and prototyping for a DM style mode.
Can't commit to a date yet, but we're on it!

Common question: Is Escalation in

For now, as long as queues are healthy and matches are quick to get into, it's going to stay up. We do envision a future where we have more modes rotating in and out of the mode ecosystem.

Nah. Not a big fan of this take.
You can build your life (or destroy it) at any age. If anything you have more wisdom, experience, and financial fluidity the older you get.
I didn't start working in games until I was 29. I didn't move to the west coast until I was 31.

In that future, we expect to be rotating more modes in and out, similarly to how we rotated out Snowball Fight. Originally our plan with Spike Rush was to keep it up temporarily, but the demand and queue health, as well as sustained engagement has been strong, so we've kept it!

Everyone who has the game on (and/or expansions, Forsaken, Annual Pass) should run through this process!
Do this even if you don't plan on playing the characters associated with that account once Cross Save is released.

This process is required for PC players to transfer from Blizzard's to Steam on October 1.

For 34 years of my life I figured needing therapy was a sign of weakness, especially as a man. Society taught me that way.
