Overwatch<\/a> has planned a charity event next month to benefit the LGBTQIA+ community, and the game will be co-hosted by Twitch Rivals.<\/p>\n

According to a Twitter<\/a> post, the Overwatch Pride Celebration will commence on Twitch Rivals on July 12 with a $250,000 prize pool “to support LGBTQIA+ Community.” Team captains and more information will be released subsequently.<\/p>\n

There have not been a lot of details available yet, such as how the prize pool will benefit the LGBTQIA+ community, which charity it will benefit, or even the game the competition will utilize.<\/p>\n

Also, because the tournament is still a month away, the game might actually occur on either the Overwatch 1 or Overwatch 2 beta, which can go online again at any moment between now and the commencement of the event. The new Overwatch game is a five-vs-five gameplay, whereas the first was a six-vs-six gameplay.<\/p>\n

The competition will likely be held in Overwatch 2 instead of the original game, but that relies solely on whether the beta is live when the time comes. Nevertheless, we expect to learn more information concerning the competition in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Additional details about Overwatch 2 will be revealed during a livestream on June 16, in which Blizzard is anticipated to release more details about the game.<\/p>\n

Riot Games is introducing a variety of in-game goodies across its many gaming franchises. Riot has been very expressive about its involvement in the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOTB). On May 17th, 2018, the organization began showing its support for via in-game emblems, homeguard trail animations, emotes, as well as a Guardian in Legends of Runeterra.<\/p>\n

Riot Games published pride emotes and symbols for Pride Month 2022 on the League of Legends Public Beta Environment (PBE) in early May. During Pride Month, players of Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, League of Legends, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra have access to Pride-themed items in each and every game.<\/p>\n

Almost all of Riot’s games feature the rainbow colors that comprise the Pride flag. Each game, including League of Legends,, Legends of Runeterra, LoL: Wild Rift, Teamfight Tactics and Valorant, celebrates pride in its own unique way. Similarly to how each individual is peculiar, so will each game’s method of recognizing the group.<\/p>\n
