‘Overwatch’ Latest News: Blizzard Coming Down Hard On ‘Overwatch’ Cheaters; ‘Overwatch’ New Hero Orisa [VIDEO]

As the "Overwatch" gamers are farming XP through a sneaky and an unorthodox method, Blizzard is coming down hard on cheaters. The video game company issued an official warning against undesirable actions taken by "Overwatch" players.

In a recent forum post, game director Jeff Kaplan has stated the studio's plans to stop "Overwatch" gamers who are exploiting the team-based multiplayer first-person shooter game. "Overwatch" game director wrote that they are very disappointed that some players have abused the video game to acquire experience while being inactive, according to Game Spot. Kaplan added that the AFK timer is now in the Skirmish mode.

The game director made it clear that the development team of "Overwatch" is now going to take disciplinary action against players who are involved in these strictly prohibited activities. If a player creates a Custom Game that would encourage other gamers to gain experience while inactive, that particular player's account would be banned. Also, a player's account would be banned if the player joins any game mode and gain experience while being AFK (Away From Keyboard).

Meanwhile, Kaplan stated that the Tank hero Orisa will not go live. The game director revealed that the "Overwatch" character needs to stay in the PTR for a little while. Although the video game company is getting great feedback on the character, Kaplan said that there's still a lot of work with regards to the character's development. In spite of that, Kaplan said that most likely Orisa will go live later in the month.

Aside from Orisa, other changes in the characters include Junkrat, this "Overwatch" character no longer hurts himself from his own explosions. Also, the stealth and translocator of Sombra and Winston's barrier projection were updated, VG 24/7 reported.

In a related "Overwatch" news, voice actress Lucy Poh, better known for portraying the game's support hero Mercy, is back in the studio to voice some new lines for the video game.
