Following D.VA’s animated short and the Busan map reveal at Gamescom 2018, Blizzard has released Overwatch’s version 1.27.1.1 patch notes in full on August 28.

Overwatch’s August update includes a new challenge to win exclusive D.VA + Nano Cola content, as well as a few bug fixes in regards to the game’s heroes, the Hero Gallery, and game sound.

In addition, bug fixes have been implemented across the games Hero Gallery, fixing descriptions of skins and heroes, as well as fixing issues with heroes themselves. A change in the game’ s sound was implemented, as well. The full list of changes can be read below:
