And hey, is that a Widowmaker tease? I haven’t gotten to play asTracerinHeroes of the Stormyet because I don’t haveOverwatchpre-ordered and she won’t be widely available for purchase in the store until next week, but that’s okay. There’s this utterly adorable animation to cheer me up while I continue waiting for Tuesday.

After buying the project, Ubisoft has stayed relatively mum with regard to promoting it — a trend that’s a bit worrisome. That’s why it’s a relief thatUbisoft confirmed to VideoGamerthatThe Stick of Truthis still scheduled for a 2013 release....

In the end, I’m probably just going to import one once they’re out....
