Wrecking Ball is live. That’s right folks, Wrecking Ball joined the live servers today as Overwatch’s newest hero and tank, on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Aside from a minor adjustment to his grappling claw speed movement, he’s the same as the incarnation players were first exposed to on the PTR.
The genetically modified hamster from them moon is bound to go through a few reworks in the near future as Blizzard sorts through the incoming feedback the Overwatch community is sure to provide. For now enjoy yourselves and Wrecking Ball!
