Over the past few months, lawsuits against Activision-Blizzard have been filed beginning with the State of California, added onto with other lawsuits, and expanded in scope. Many were not happy with the company’s response to the lawsuit, and that hasn’t changed much. The latest update is that Activision-Blizzard has fired several employees in response, but many remain worried. This lawsuit has translated to games too, with several necessary changes to games like World of Warcraft and Overwatch being made as well.

For Overwatch, one of the biggest changes was announced to be McCree’s name. The change was announced to take place back in August as Blizzard seeks to remove and or change references, names, and locations related to anyone named in the lawsuit, including former employee Jesse McCree, who was used for the gun-slinging hero. McCree had been part of the controversial Blizzard “Cosby Suite” group and has been let go from the company.

Blizzard today announced that McCree’s new name is Cole Cassidy, with that name change expected to rollout in Overwatch on October 26. This will make sweeping changes to the multiplayer hero shooter game, where old voice lines are scrubbed and new voice lines and content refer to Cole directly by his new name. When this was first announced, it was confirmed to come alongside a new in-game narrative arc of sorts focused on Cole, which can be seen somewhat in the “clip” Blizzard posted.

In short, Cole ran from his real name and identity a long time ago, but “in every cowboy’s life, there comes a time when he has to take a stand.” Blizzard writes that to make this hero “better” and to make things “right,” he had to come to terms with his past and will be adopting this new identity of sorts as Cole Cassidy.

Many western fans will likely notice this new name is a reference of sorts, but not to anyone at Activision-Blizzard. His last name is likely in reference to the 19th-century outlaw Butch Cassidy, whose stories have inspired many westerns including Red Dead Redemption 2. In other words, it’s perfectly fitting for Overwatch and its cowboy hero, Cole Cassidy. It’ll likely take many players time to adopt the name Cole fully over calling him McCree—after all, the game has been out since 2016—but hopefully it’s a sign that Activision-Blizzard is taking these allegations seriously and not just performatively.

Overwatch is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
