https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqnKB22pOC0Overwatch is Blizzard's first brand new game in almost 20 years
It's not a moba
It's a class-based first-person shooter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYC44YPb_5kIt's awesome
Blizzard wrote:Overwatch features a wide array of unique heroes, ranging from a time-jumping adventurer, to an armored, rocket-hammer-wielding warrior, to a transcendent robot monk. Every hero plays differently, and mastering their abilities is the key to unlocking their potential. No two heroes are the same.
Whether you're engaging in combat on the front line, providing defensive cover with your energy shield, or supporting your allies by amplifying their damage, every hero's abilities are designed to be effective as part of a team. Learning to utilize your abilities in concert with your teammates' is the key to victory.
Teams of heroes do battle across the planet. From protecting the secrets of the mysterious Temple of Anubis, to safely escorting an EMP device through King's Row, the world is your battlefield.
Blizzard has also done a tremendous amount of worldbuilding for this game without a campaign, releasing two lengthy animated shorts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyBUMabtslIOverwatch releases May 24th on PC, PS4, and Xbox One
Overwatch comes in two packages on PC, and only one on consoles
The special edition on PC, costing an additional $20, gives you 5 skins for a few of the characters and Overwatch-themed content for other Blizzard games, like a free Tracer character for Heroes of the Storm, or a Winston pet for World of Warcraft
Overwatch is real rad and I wanna talk about it bunches

There a preinstall for beta?
Gonna Symmetra everyone to death.
If you have a code, you can install it now
I normally never play support characters, but enjoying one in this game means that I can do awesome, and both help my team and maintain a good team balance.
Steam: MightyPotatoKing
You do not want to get hit by Symettra orbs, and Zenyatta honestly blows me up more than some of the assassin characters do. Even some of the stuff like "defense hero" is mostly a guideline, I've had people (usually politely) ask me to get off Symettra on offence, and then apologize later when I run the other team over.
I don't want to get my fill of the game before it's even out
That's what I did with Titanfall and Battlefront when they were in beta
Yeah, I think they were only given out if you pre-ordered before April 29th. That, and it only applied to specific retailers.
I have a spare one for PC that you could use if you need it
You only need a code to get in for today and tomorrow
After 2 days I think. Pre-orders get in today, everyone else on Wednesday.
I got it. Thanks, you're the best!
I do find it hilarious that the last Stress Test weekend coincided with Battleborn's beta weekend, and the start of the Open Beta is coinciding with the release of Battleborn

The image of Blizzard just constantly dunking on Gearbox occurs
....to add a video intro. That is some epic level trolling right there
wait, there was a cutoff
shit
When does this go live?
Incidentally, I have an extra Open Beta key for the first person to PM me for it.
I have never played a team-based FPS before (outside of team deathmatch in Destiny, I guess)
I pre-ordered this based on its art style alone, which is magnificent
If I have fun with the beta I will buy it, if not I will cancel my pre-order
Either way I am super intrigued
