The team behind Blizzard Entertainment Supervision has announced that McCree, which is one of the original heroes that was launched for the first time with the game in 2016, will receive a change of name in the game. This alteration comes after Supervision was criticized by fans for the continuous use of the name of McCree, which was originally destined to return the call to Jesse McCree, who is a former Blizzard employee who was dismissed by the company earlier this month.
After weeks of pressure by many fans around the world, the Supervision, the team issued a statement this afternoon informing the fans that MCCREE will receive a new name in the future. We build _Supervision Universe around the idea that inclusion, equity and hope are the pillars of a better future. They are fundamental for the game and for the Supervision, said the statement that was published on social networks. As we continue to discuss how to live better according to our values and to demonstrate our commitment to create a world of games that reflect them, we believe it is necessary to change the name of the hero currently known as McCree to something that best represents what _Supervision It represents.

Although such a change of name for MCCree has now been confirmed by the Supervision Studio, the developers have also said that it will take a little time until this new name appears. We realize that any change in such a beloved and central hero in the fiction of the game will take time to implement correctly, and we will share updates as this work progresses, said the development team. In the short term, we had planned to start a narrative arc in September supported with new history and content content, from which McCree was a key part. Since we want to integrate this change into that arch of history, we will delay the new arch until the end of this year and, instead, launch a new FFA map in September.
As a final resolution to this whole matter, the Supervision, the team said that the characters that are within the game will no longer receive names based on real employees of the study. This will help to strengthen that we are building a fictional universe that is unmistakably different from the real world and illustrates better than the creation of _Supervision is really a team effort, said the message.
Work on these updates is underway and are only part of our continuous commitment to honest reflection and making the necessary changes to build a future by which it is worth fighting. We know that actions speak more than words, and we hope to show them our commitment to do Supervision a better experience in the game and continue making our team as best as possible.
