This isn’t the game’s first Season 4 teaser — who could forget Forge's untimely death or Revenant’s role in a brutal bloodbath ? — but it’s players’ first look at what they can expect when they drop into Worlds Edge after the season beg

Using his drone, Crypto can mark the enemy locations for his teammate. Hiding from Crypto is almost impossible given the vast range of his drones and the small size of the ability. Coupled with the EMP ability connected to the drone, it makes Crypto a versatile and oppressive character in the right ha

The gameplay trailer starts with a friendly-sounding advertisement for Hammond Robotics. If you're not familiar with Hammond Robotics, check out the (fake) company's website to learn about its role in building "hundreds of advanced spaceborne and mechanized defense solutio

His arsenal of "decoy" special moves makes facing a good Mirage a hassle. His ability to cast a decoy towards an area is a good way to reveal an enemy's location. On top of his invisibility ability, he is an excellent character for those who prefer a "spy" charac

The trailer also shows off Revenant’s totem, once again reflecting this Jekyll-and-Hyde theme that shows players in two different physical states. Players who go near it morph into shadow versions of themselves. This is similar to what players saw during Halloween’s Fright or Flight event, which may have secretly been a test event for the shadow abil

Bloodhound's tactical ability is his "eye of the Allfather" a powerful recon ability that allows Bloodhound to see enemies through walls. This ability alone makes Bloodhound an oppressive offense character, as it is incredibly difficult to avoid a good Bloodhound pla

Although Lifeline heals more quickly, including downed teammates, her shield is a beacon to the enemy. It signals a squad to push on you, because two-thirds of your team is occupied. However, these characteristics can be used to your advantage in a pinch. Firstly, you can use the whirring sound of D.O.C. as bait to suggest that you need healing when you don’t. The same goes for Lifeline’s shield, luring the enemy to attack, when you’re actually ready to defend. But trickiest of all, you can use Lifeline’s shield as a literal shield in close-quarters combat. Begin to revive a teammate just while the enemy is shooting, then release and fire back. Repeat as necessary, and it might just save you. These tactics are especially handy when both teammates are d

Her ultimate ability "rolling thunder" is a powerful airstrike which operates as a power area denial style move. Forcing enemy teams inside of buildings its an excellent tool to prevent enemies from approaching your team or using a common choke po

Caustic makes for an excellent "camping" character. Once set up it is near impossible to rush a good caustic. Make use of his oppressive nox trap and nox gas grenade to dish out high amounts of damage over time on his enem

Gibraltar is equipped with a powerful bubble shield, which prevents enemies from shooting at whoever is inside the shield. But also prevents any returning fire from within the bubble. Gibraltar is an essential defensive powerhouse in a game dominated by powerful offensive legends. His ultimate launches a powerful round of bombs from a friendly airstr

These thematic Battle Pass skins are intriguing as they play into the Jekyll-and-Hyde aspect of the trailer. Skins sometimes connote a nod to the game's lore, such as the Wraith Voidwalker skin. While it may be a stretch, it's possible that the two-faced theme may end up with Lifeline, Wraith and Wattson usurped by darkn

DUMMIEs Big Day (January 26-27): Nobody seems to know what this mode is all about. If we had to take a guess, judging by the fact that everyone seems to look like a brightly colored crash test dummy, it’s likely that this mode makes it so you can’t see which characters the other teams have chosen. It’s either that, or it may be the first mode that involves A.I.-controlled bots for players to shoot freely. Guess we’ll find out when the mode goes live on the 26

We don’t think Crypto’s version of fancy is in line with the spirit of the Grand Soirée, but it’s certainly an interesting look. He looks less like he’s attending an exquisite old-fashioned party and more like he’s about to order bottle service at the club. But hey, points for eff

Throughout the commercial, scenes flicker, projecting the aura that things aren’t as safe and secure as Hammond would like you to believe. Superimposed images show a very different Capitol City, which is split into two sections with lava flowing through
