Synopsis
Overwatch is a highly stylized team-based shooter set on a near-future earth. Every match is a multiplayer showdown pitting a diverse cast of heroes, mercenaries, scientists, adventurers, and oddities in 6 vs. 6 matches across a variety of gameplay modes set in maps around the world. Players progress via a large selection of customization options that can also be purchased through loot boxes. Overwatch began as an ambitious MMO project known as Titan until Blizzard canceled it and took the scraps and used them to develop the super popular Overwatch.
