Overwatch hero Jesse McCree has a new name, and, no, its not Deadeye Dave. As promised, Blizzard has renamed the gunslinger in the aftermath of his real-life namesake leaving the studio back in August. As of October 26th, McCree will be known as Cole Cassidy.To make the new Overwatch better to make things right he had to be honest with his team and himself. Blizzard said in a tweet. The cowboy he was rode into the sunset, and Cole Cassidy faced the world at dawn.Meet Cole Cassidy.Rides into Overwatch October 26. pic.twitter.com/CT6PmaNXNs Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) October 22, 2021The real Jesse McCree left the studio after the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing sued Activision Blizzard for fostering a frat boy workplace. While not directly named in the complaint, McCree reportedly took part in the infamous "Cosby Suite" where Blizzard employees, including former World of Warcraft creative director Alex Afrasiabi, allegedly harassed women. When it first announced the name change, Blizzard said it wanted to find one that better represented Overwatchs ideals. It also promised it would no longer name in-game characters after employees.Alongside the name change, Blizzard is testing two potential changes to Cassidys kit. It may tweak his Deadeye ultimate to make it more deadly and allow players to use his Combat Roll in midair. The latter change should help with avoiding vertical knockback abilities from heroes like Doomfist and Wrecking Ball. You can try out the tweaks by launching Overwatchs Experimental mode.
