Ah April Fools Day, maybe the only day each year where it’s socially acceptable to pull pranks on your friends, family, colleagues and generally, the whole world.
One cross-section of society that lives for April Fools Day pranks is the video game world.
Every year, developers, news sites, streamers and more come together to create crazy updates or invent bizarre stories to trick the world.
One of the games taking part in the festivities this year is none other than Blizzard’s Overwatch, and they teased it by simply tweeting out the eyes emoji. But what exactly are they doing? Let’s take a look.

Top marks for creativity, docked points for repetition.
As it stands, it looks like Blizzard have replicated their April Fools Day prank from last year.
As players logged into Overwatch today, they have been greeted with all of the game’s heroes sporting big googly eyes.
It’s a sight to behold while competing against Mei with her eyes rolling around or D.Va giving you a bizarre look.

As you can imagine there was shock, confusion and much laughter.

Some were horrified by the whole situation:
But, as expected, there was also a fair share of disappointment that Blizzard didn’t try anything new in their incredibly popular hero shooter.
That said, the day is still extremely young and Blizzard could conceivably still have a trick up their sleeves in terms of Overwatch April Fools Day 2021.
