Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter
video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released
in May 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Overwatch puts players into two teams of six, with each
player selecting one of several pre-defined hero characters with unique
movement, attributes, and skills; these heroes are divided into four classes:
Offense, Defense, Tank and Support. Players on a team work together to secure
and defend control points on a map and/or escort a payload across the map in a
limited amount of time. Players gain cosmetic rewards that do not affect
gameplay, such as character skins and victory poses, as they continue to play
in matches. The game was launched with casual play, while Blizzard added
competitive ranked play about a month after launch. Blizzard states that all
Overwatch updates will remain free, with the only additional cost to players
being microtransactions to earn additional cosmetic rewards.
Overwatch is Blizzard's fourth major franchise, and came
about following the 2014 cancellation of the ambitious massively multiplayer
online role-playing game Titan. A portion of the Titan team came up with the
concept of Overwatch, based on success of team-based first-person shooters like
Team Fortress 2 and the growing popularity of multiplayer online battle arenas,
creating a hero-based shooter that emphasized teamwork. Some elements of
Overwatch borrow assets and concepts from the canceled Titan project. After
establishing the narrative of an optimistic near-future Earth setting after a
global crisis, the developers aimed to create a diverse cast of heroes that
spanned genders and ethnicities as part of this setting. Significant time was
spent adjusting the balance of the characters, making sure that new players
would still be able to have fun while skilled players would present each other
with a challenge.
Overwatch was unveiled at BlizzCon 2014 in a fully playable
state, and was in a closed beta from late 2015 through early 2016. An open beta
in May 2016 drew in more than 9.7 million players. The release of the game was
promoted with short animated videos to introduce the game's narrative and each
of the characters. Upon official release, Overwatch received universal acclaim
from critics, who praised its accessibility and enjoyable gameplay.
