Overwatch offers a free name change after changing the name of MCCREE

Overwatch s The MCCREE hero now has a new name, but it is not the only one who will have the opportunity for people to refer to him with a different name. Blizzard Entertainment announced this week that offers players a free name change in case they want to opt for something different in the game. However, the offer is only available for a limited time and, given that it refers to Battletags Supervision Players pass, it will only be available for those who have a BattleNet account, which limits its utility for the PC platform.

Battletag s free name change was announced shortly after Blizzard said that McCree would now be known as Cole Cassidy. Probably as a way to alleviate some of the bumps of an unprecedented situation like this, in which the name of an established character is changed, Blizzard said that people could put aside a name that had been clinging if they wanted a new one .

As we present a new name, you may want to do the same. We offer a free Battletag name change to all players.

As we present a new name, you may want to do the same». Blizzard said. «As of October 22, 2021 and until November 5, 2021, all players will be offered a free Battlegame name change. This applies to anyone who currently does not have a free name change available. Existing name changes will not accumulate for future use. «

You have until November 5 to take the opportunity as Blizzard said, so do not miss it if you want to change your name. However, if you have never changed your battletag, you have a free change waiting for you anyway. This is because everyone gets a free-name exchange every time they create an account, but as Blizzard said in the ad, the name changes do not accumulate, which means that this offer is not too useful for those who have never Changed your name first. .

Cole Cassidy adopted the new name of it as a result of the demand that Activision Blizzard currently faces, which includes complaints of sexual harassment, discrimination and other actions. The hero was previously appointed in honor of Blizzard s employee in real life, Jesse McCree, who was one of several developers who abandoned the study after the beginning of demand and subsequent investigations.

Blizzard said earlier that he would have an arch of history in which Cole Cassidy would play a prominent role, so it seems that soon we will see more about the hero if that bow is about to begin.
