Overwatch, the upcoming team-based FPS, will launch in spring 2016 for PS4, Xbox One and PC, Blizzard Entertainment has announced.
The 6v6 shooter takes place on a near future Earth, where teams of soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities clash for control of iconic locations around the world. There is a cast of 21 heroes to select, each offering something different on the battlefield.
The final three heroes were announced at BlizzCon over the weekend:
Genji: A cybernetic ninja, is an expert assassin capable of extraordinary feats of agility, including reflecting enemy attacks with his blade.
D.Va: A former pro-gaming superstar who pilots an experimental military mech in defense of her home country.
Mei: Travels the globe applying her scientific expertise to protect the natural world; in battle, her arsenal of climate-manipulating technology has the power to put the opposition on ice.
“We’re building Overwatch to be the first-person shooter we’ve always wanted to play, with a vibrant world, awesome heroes, and an emphasis on tightly focused cooperative gameplay,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re excited to welcome console and PC gamers to the fight for the future, and we can’t wait to see all the incredible things teams are able to accomplish on the battlefield this upcoming spring.”
Those who pre-order will receive the special Noire skin for Widowmaker, Overwatch’s ice-cold assassin, at launch.
