Blizzard Wrote:Soldiers. Scientists. Adventurers. Oddities.
In a time of global crisis, an international task force of heroes banded together to restore peace to a war-torn world: OVERWATCH.
Overwatch ended the crisis, and helped maintain peace in the decades that followed, inspiring an era of exploration, innovation, and discovery. But, after many years, Overwatch’s influence waned, and it was eventually disbanded.
Now, conflict is rising across the world again, and the call has gone out to heroes old and new. Are you with us?
Overwatch is a new team-based FPS coming out 24th May for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It incorporates different heroes who have unique abilities and different roles to play in each game.
There are four roles:
- Tank
- Offence
- Defence
- Support
As always with these types of games, I prefer being the Support characters, healing, buffing and assisting my teammates rather than killing enemies. It's a great, fun game that's not too intensive when compared to Blizzard's main game World of Warcraft. It's pretty easy to get good at and can require some pretty good teamwork.
Below's a recommended video for a preview of what the game's like, check out his channel for more on Overwatch and the other classes!
There is an Open Beta which is open between 5-9th May so you better get testing before it's over!
