What is Overwatch?
Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, released in May 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting from a roster of over 20 characters, each with a unique style of play that is divided into three general roles that fit their purpose. Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map or escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time.
Blizzard has added new characters, maps, and game modes post-release, all while retaining the original look and feel of the game.
