How Overwatch’s Story Is Built Like the MCU
In March 2016, months before Overwatch was launched, Blizzard released the Recall cinematic. It tells the story of scientist gorilla Winston who, realising that the world could use a few more heroes, issues a call to his old teammates in hope of re-assembling the Overwatch team. Three years later, we’ve still not seen the result of that message.
This refusal to push the story forward is a source of frustration for many of Overwatch’s most dedicated fans. But it’s a deliberate move from Blizzard; the team knows exactly where it’s headed - there is a present day story - but steps need to be taken before we get there. If this were the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’re very much in phase one; Overwatch’s version of first Avengers movie is coming, but we need to establish what came first before we can get to that iconic team-up scene.

Borderlands 3’s Campaign Is 30 Hours Long If You ‘Beeline It’
Borderlands 3's campaign, if you "beeline it through," will take around 30 hours to complete.
As reported by PC Gamer, Borderlands 3 creative director Paul Sage said that the main quest for Borderlands 3 will take around 30 hours if you ignore the numerous side quests and inclinations to explore every corner of Gearbox Software's latest adventure.
"If you beeline it through, and I mean beelining it through, it might take you 30 hours to complete the main story," Sage said.
According to How Long to Beat, the 30-hour mark is in line with Borderlands 2, which currently is sitting at an average of 30.5 hours. For completionists, Borderlands 2 offers an average of 115 hours of loot-hunting fun.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Now Available in Australia and New Zealand
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is now available in open beta in Australia and New Zealand.
The mobile game, developed by Pokemon Go studio Niantic in collaboration with WB games, can be downloaded in both countries for iOS and Android (via The Verge). This is akin to Pokemon Go’s launch schedule, which saw it arrive in Australia and New Zealand before being made available in the US, Europe, and other territories.
Any Android users hoping to bypass the territory restrictions by downloading an APK that has been re-uploaded by a third-party will find that this trick won’t work; while the app will load, it won’t allow progressions past a short tutorial. Instead, you’ll have to wait for a worldwide release date to be announced.
