"OVERWATCH SEASON 1 (2026) - SALES & REVIEW ROUND-UP" · Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect

0:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It is time to get into everyone's favorite hero shooter, which is Marvel Rivals.
0:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Shepard.
0:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, my phone.
0:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But in all seriousness, Overwatch did set the standard and of course should be respected as not only the cream of the crop when it comes to hero shooters, but the one that made the foundation for what other hero shooters is currently following up on today.
0:33
[SPEAKER_00]: As we can look at Overwatch, not only did it take the video game by storm having a notorious Mass Effect punitive, the main thing when you look at it from a consumer standpoint, is that when Overwatch came on the scene and basically launched in 2016, having 7 million copies in week one is not where it stopped, as do you know that
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Overwatch, as a franchise, exceeded $1 billion, but guess what, ladies and gentlemen?
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: That was in this opening year from 2016 to 2017.
1:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So objectively speaking, we are about to get into Blizzard's fastest growing IP and of course that was all the way back then.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Some would say actually, you know, objectively speaking, it definitely did peak at 2020.
1:26
[SPEAKER_00]: When COVID was happening, of course, everybody was in the house.
1:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So all the gamer type numbers was through the roof.
1:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you look at Overwatch as Overwatch won the initial version back in 2016, the main thing is in 2020.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: a generated $800 to $800 million in that specific year.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And nowadays,
1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: It has a 225 million dollar total as of early of 2024.
1:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's declined as far as year over year.
1:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But every single hero shoot that comes out takes something from Overwatch because it definitely set the standard, which is why it won Game of the Year at the Game Awards show.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it, let me say, I believe it won Game of the Year.
2:13
[SPEAKER_00]: a game awards, you see, a game of the year.
2:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe you want a game of the year back in the came out.
2:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.
2:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So it won a game of the 2016.
2:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, it was a very just, justifiable just to say the least.
2:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of people, which is not a lot, you know, if you're actually a gamer, but the people who come out and say, oh, Overwatch is now copying rivals with the push
2:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Overwatch at the entire foundation for hero shooters, and especially when you're trying to participate on legends that came before you, that let you have your rise for today for the modern age.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they could take a little bit from you as well as for us a newcomer on the block.
3:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, anyways, you all probably wonder about why in the world have you not said Overwatch
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: all that headlines possible as they dropped the two for the unify title overwatch.
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So they wanted to reset the annual season one and of course it began this year and with that there was a lot of additions for going back from two to the original overwatch as they not only did they drop five characters at once but the masses flock to it in
3:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Switch X, et cetera, the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade is scheduled for later 2026, but when you look at the crossplay enabled, the cross progression enabled, I believe that's already been a feature for quite some time.
3:58
[SPEAKER_00]: The main thing is the Steam numbers, the console numbers, and of course I don't think it was on the Nintendo, yeah, it was not on the Nintendo charts currently, but
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the Steam charts, it's currently the 13th most play game on the platform with a concurrent player count of 52,000 and a 24-hour peak of 114,000.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But the main thing, I said the main thing is the all-time peak 7 days ago, which is 165,000.
4:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, that's for this version of the game.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, the all-time peak is much higher when it initially came out in 2016.
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you're getting it to all the changes, it's basically what we hear to do as far as the specific segment.
4:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to break it down from the changes to what we can expect from Overwatch going forward.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, if you was going to dive back into Overwatch, after this segment, you would definitely know if you want to do that or not.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So seem like everybody is enjoying the shift back to Overwatch.
5:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to say everyone, but you know the main thing is majority because of course when people came back and drove as when you look at the increase in steam numbers when you look at the highest in one year as far as on all platform peaks when you look at
5:20
[SPEAKER_00]: them surpassing their contemporary such as the call of duty of battlefields sigs marver rivals arc rate is et cetera, but not really arc rate is I'm not gonna lie arc rate is it's still killing it on steam it's just one two three four five six seven eight instead of eighth most played game
5:36
[SPEAKER_00]: on steam and, of course, wallpaper is above it, so technically it's the seventh most play game on steam.
5:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So, our greatest is door phenomenal.
5:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But when it first came out the gate, safe to say, Call of Duty Battlefield 6 and Marvel rivals is definitely now playing catch-up, as far as analytical success in the year of 2026.
5:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So, the main thing you need to know with this change is that, of course,
5:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's get into the original foundation for the people who are not as not aware of Overwatch's gameplay loop.
6:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So, if you don't know, Overwatch created, they popularized the team base PvP, right?
6:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Your tank, your damage, support.
6:15
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... payload escorted control points uh... the live service i mean everything that you see a marva rivals overwatch started right so now when you look at their characters that's the main thing that made people intrigued with marva rivals because if you took if you took such a iconic gameplay loop and foundation and add marvo character so now you guys spider men is damaged now you have venomous tank now you have uh...
6:43
[SPEAKER_00]: invisible woman at support safe to say the IP recognition is through the roof and that's why I believe not what me You know more revivals are still a phenomenal game because a I forget Shepherd, no, I'ma say it cuz I ain't forget Motivers has had bad man bugs bunny LeBron James for some reason all in one game and guess what?
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still flop.
7:08
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys, she does the problem.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So let me not just put it on IP recognition as to why Marvel rivals are doing phenomenal.
7:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Out the gate, it was a well of fully fleshed out game, practice mode, training area, different ways to get used to your character, a whole database to see different,
7:29
[SPEAKER_00]: damage and healing as of, you know, it was similar to how a fully fleshed out fighting game is supposed to release.
7:38
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how Marvel rivals release.
7:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything, as far as the attention to detail was there.
7:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So let me not just say it was IP recognition, but I would be dismissive to say it wasn't a huge factor, and why people gravitated towards that game, that otherwise aren't aware of hero shooters.
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyways, let's get back to Overwatch,
7:58
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the gameplay loop.
8:00
[SPEAKER_00]: As far as the major changes as far as going back to the original Overwatch, the main thing you need to know is that they have five new heroes and they have for the year of 2026, five additional heroes, but one per season.
8:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I kept saying at the beginning, they dropped five at the start, because this is not normal at all, especially for
8:26
[SPEAKER_00]: legacy hero shooters to have five characters released at once.
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not normal.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It's usually wouldn't maybe a season and they dropped five in once.
8:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They wanted to make a big splash.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: She's far as to let you know that it was serious as well.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: As far as going back to the over while she unified title.
8:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And now.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: When you look at one per season for the year of 2026, you come to realize how serious they're taking this launch in general, which is why I think it is so well and politically on different consoles and of course PC.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So now, when you look at the new heroes, say to say you have dope.
9:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Domina Domina y'all don't laugh at me now.
9:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys don't laugh at me now.
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how to pronounce that.
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's Domina or Domina is one of those but anyways, that's to take a talent.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, Emory, which is damaged.
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Talon.
9:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if that helps you.
9:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if this like a sub category of the actual classes.
9:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, Mizuki, one of our support for Talon on run and ran for damage overwatch.
9:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That just is overwatch.
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We're in the world.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: jetpack cat support and also says Overwatch.
9:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I guess it's like different factions and stuff like that.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: They we have them factions and stuff.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: When you look at the design pipeline, they've came out before and basically said it takes them around like eight months when they first started it, but now it takes around four to five months.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: We're still alive.
9:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you got the fourth actor, yeah, they have the balances as far as making sure they don't break the game, making sure they're on just a bit more, you know, at lunch.
10:05
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I compared it to a fighting game.
10:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's a lot of things you have to
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: keep into account when putting in a new character in 45 of the characters already exists.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine you then test this one character and now it's ultimate or it's second ability completely breaks the game with the new character, right?
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they didn't test it.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you have to test it out with every single hero.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Which I don't know, y'know, y'all probably are like, whoa need to!
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, that's your job.
10:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if I just lay, you know, you know, being a game developer, but it's not as glamorous as some people may make it look.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyways, as far as the meta event, safe to say it's been going for five weeks, that's a total duration that I think is still going right now.
10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, it's Overwatch versus Talon, weekly mission drives, a lot of loot boxes and things that that nature, I wanted to get more into the hero roster,
10:58
[SPEAKER_00]: getting it to each character.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's not what I'm here for.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm not like a a avid pro player of Overwatch.
11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm basically giving you the overview of what I'm putting it into of a popular and immensely popular game that said the foundation for hero shooters.
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So safe to say, I'm just trying to do my job.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: to salute a legendary hero shooter.
11:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Shepard, just look at the state of gaming.
11:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what is going on?
11:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So one of the characters I didn't want to get into, after all that, I didn't want to get into Jetpack, because when a world who made Jetpack cat, it's almost like they saw a Jeff from Marvel Rivals.
11:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was like, you know what?
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a nice, cutely animal that everybody can gravitate towards.
11:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And some would say a shark is not cutely at all and Marvel rivals did it so let's go into opposite direction that actually makes sense And make a cutely animal that people can gravitate toward and guess what ladies and gentlemen jet pack cat was born So
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't know what Jetpack cat does, essentially, that character heel damages project elsewhere.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I lied to him mode, and it was one move I was going to look at, flight acceleration, area heel post, diver, dive, tether, oh, that's the thing, yeah, the ultimate.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So basically,
12:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I may play a video, but Jetpack Cat has an ultimate where it takes a person and can drag it off the map.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, what do I want to wear?
12:26
[SPEAKER_00]: What type of guy character is that?
12:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to, I wonder who else has an ultimate that drags an entire team off the map.
12:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't really put my finger on it.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyways, I was kind of wanting to show the ultimate.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me see if I can find it right quick, because you know, I need some Mickey research for that.
12:41
[SPEAKER_00]: See, Jetpack Cat Ultimate.
12:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let me know who this reminds you of.
12:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the overview of his ultimate.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I can't find an overview, but as far as what the ultimate looks like, here it is.
13:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Not just saying how to counter it.
13:06
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not why I typed in.
13:07
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the high.
13:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You know why the JPEC already talking about how to counter it?
13:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Boom seems.
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I can carry support.
13:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I'm trying to see if I could find okay, so that man's yellow.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not it.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's definitely Oh, here we go.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I finally found a game play.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, sir.
13:29
[SPEAKER_00]: W tech guide is from Twitter.
13:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna lie, I probably could have just looked it up on YouTube, but, um, hey.
13:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa, need no!
13:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyways, an analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio if you haven't already.
13:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's Jetpack Cat, and our full glimmers, uh, 720p shots at E-Long, right?
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is Jetpack Cat gameplay, as you can tell, the ad lives, it's very insane.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to drag somebody off the mat?
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I want a whirl?
14:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this is funny.
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoever clip this is hilarious.
14:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can just drag somebody off the map.
14:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I just wonder who else has that type of ultimate?
14:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Shepherd.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a fault.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Once again, Marvel rivals did copy over Rush first.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just thought that was hilarious.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, that's the main thing I was wanted to show because that was one of the main characters I wanted to do because it picked my interest.
14:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, you know me diving into different games.
14:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Not too many characters.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I look at him like, bro, I wonder what his full kid is.
14:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, if I'm not going to touch the character at all, I don't care what the kid is.
14:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to look it to like the deficit as characters can't cause for in the world makes a cat with a jetpack and puts it into a hero shooter But hey, Overwatch did.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyways, I'm safe to say that the glad they did because that's definitely one of the standout characters at a game When you look at some of the other events as far as
14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that was it was one.
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the roadmap.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I was going to get to.
14:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So spring 2022 is one new hero 10th anniversary event post match accolades stadium hero Rematra rematra rematra season three you have one new hero as far as Japan night
15:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Season 4, fall 2012, that's a season 33, season 33, summer, 2021, is when Japan, Japan night happens with one new hero.
15:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Season 4, fall 2016, comes with one new hero expanded 3D lobby, whatever that means.
15:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And then of course, when you look at the overview, say if they say they're going to still keep their story going, as far as like throughout the environment story telling.
15:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the main thing we're overwatched.
15:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also a story attached to it.
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if there's like any show.
15:41
[SPEAKER_00]: for Overwatch fans out there, but um, I guess I should look at them, see, is there, let me see, a show for Overwatch fans?
15:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I would assume there is, because I've seen like stuff with, uh, what's the girl who'd be duplicating herself?
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I forget so, well, I forget, well, I think she's like, uh, I'm sorry.
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I found it.
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, uh, it's supposed to get one from Netflix, but never happened.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Well,
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, there you go, so anyways, I let's train position into the sales, no, the review round-up of Overwatch because I actually don't know if I want to get to review round-up.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yeah, basically know what the game is, right?
16:20
[SPEAKER_00]: As far as what people are saying about the...
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: the latest season right people saying that it's incredible that uh... it's incredible the strides that uh... overwatch has made since overwatch is too uh... disappointment uh... disappointing twenty twenty two early access launch it's safe to say overwatch is back in this better than ever before that's from game range so she had to know you know this goes all over the place up to six at ten up to you know that's just a medical uh...
16:49
[SPEAKER_00]: But no, yeah, I'm still seeing six out of 10, I'm seeing a 10 out of 10.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing nine out of 10.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's all over the place, but for the most part, I mean, it seems like the average, you know, it seems like we're average out to like what?
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Seven for the most part, because, uh, doesn't seem like everybody's hating it, but, you know, everybody's not loving it.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely high and cold on it.
17:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But, um,
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to read a meta-critic user, let me see over watch forums.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, somebody this say from five characters, only one is legit good.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I just said I wasn't going to read off uh, users reviews.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's basically only got a quote from gamer.
17:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, well, like they said, uh, quote overwatch has made incredible strides since overwatch is two.
17:28
[SPEAKER_00]: That's appointing 2022 early access launches.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Safe to save.
17:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Overwatch is back and it's better than ever before.
17:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So that being said, from an Overwatch fanatic out there, I guess now you can finally say, not only have I put a menstrual spate on Marvel rivals, which already knew I was gonna do that as a huge Marvel fan, but now I have officially put respect on the Overwatch community.
17:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Shepard.
17:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Just look at the state of gaming.
17:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, what is going on?
17:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So that'd be it, say click my link to my bio.
18:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know one of my social media.
18:01
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you feel about Overwatch 2 going to Overwatch to have more of a unified look?
18:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, if you've played the game, what is your favorite character if you have it?
18:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Will you be willing to try out the new resurgence of Overwatch?
