Description

Blizzard Entertainment’s OVERWATCH™ is a hugely anticipated, highly stylized team-based action game set on a bright, beautifully-rendered near-future earth. Every match is an engrossing, exciting multiplayer showdown pitting a diverse cast of heroes, mercenaries, scientists, adventurers, and oddities against each other in an epic, globe-spanning conflict.

Not Just Roles, Heroes – This is an action game with heart—you’re not just a nameless soldier. You will discover dozens of bold, vibrant heroes that will fuel your imagination and remind you what it’s like to be captivated by an evocative new IP.

Super Teams – This is a fantastic universe of bold characters with unapologetic stories. You will assemble a team whose over-the-top abilities can be orchestrated to accomplish the incredible and make or break every battle.
