Overwatch" Heroes Get Giggles on April Fool's Day

This feels like one of those features that players will be asking for as a matter of course after April 1, and thanks to an update Blizzard sneaked in on April Fool's Day, Overwatch's heroes are now compatible with googly eyes, which are a big swing.

I can't think of a character design that wouldn't be improved by adding googly eyes. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to see it added to all Diablo 3 enemies ASAP; you can see the new look in Overwatch's Play of the Game highlights and emotes.

The main highlight of this update is Hanzo's dragon-injection ultimate ability, which also comes with a giggle. Enjoy a laugh before the twin dragons devour you.

Most developers have avoided putting out April Fool's gags this year, which is a show of good sense considering the times we live in. But this is a really well judged bit of fun. Well done, Blizzard. Check out some of the new designs below.
